Peak oil: is it real or is it orchestrated scarcity designed to control us all? I don't know. I started out believing it's 'real' but the world is very strange indeed and so there is a part of me which is not convinced that it's all just a matter of geophysics. I say this so you know where you stand as viewer of these items. But, if peak oil is in any way orchestrated, this still does not negate the need to wake people up about it. Real, or orchestrated, or a mixture of both: it will still affect almost all of our lives.
What ever the truth is, the changes have started happening. The price of everything is going up. Jobs are being lost. All our lives are being affected and the changes are not going to stop. We have to learn to adapt to the changes and even better, to anticipate those changes and prepare for them in advance, and even better yet again, to transcend those changes, and step right outside of the normal framework...food for thought.
