As there is no separation between Peak Oil (as concept, catchall), climate change, the economy, etc; to that end, for the wilfully ignorant, then,

Comics:

What everyones fear is:

John Kinhart, As We Know It

An Introductory Video Series: Richard Heinberg

Part One, Peak Everything





Kinhart, again, with what most go through as implications sink in

Rome Didn't Collapse in a Day

Yet further implications; an essay:

Ugo Bardi, Peak Research

Of course none of these are satisfying in the way that a book is. And that one author builds upon another. A few thousand years of Western Civ being flushed since no one will any longer read enough (not enough, at any rate); if one lacks tools, how can one participate as an adult?

So, a review of three. Vanishing Face is worth the effort for the unschooled.

NYRB: James Lovelock, A Great Jump to Disaster


“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
― Isaac Asimov
