Which seems appropriate given how things are turning out. My idle speculation, that "Demand Destruction" isn't the problem, but rather the solution to the issues of Peak and shortages, seems to be working out. That said, the price still isn't high enough to make that all happen, but its getting there I think. Just a slow, grinding economic battle between how much we want to burn vs how much there is available to burn at any given time.
Also becoming med dependent as I, and maybe yall as well, as a result of age and injury pretty much takes the intensity out of doom'ing. Its just not as compelling when you think that all available paths for the human race with regard to oil/energy and climate change; have a time horizon that exceed one's own best-by date.
I hear what you're saying but Peak Oil. com is not just a Doomer site. There are many topics open for discussion and, in fact, the most discussion occurs on issues that have nothing to do with oil. What is nice, is to be able to talk to people who have an understanding of systems and how they all interact such as water depletion, topsoil erosion, etc. It is also helpful to be able to talk to people so that you can get different perspectives on aging and how to handle it. I am struggling with the same feelings you are about the passing of my "best-by-date" as you put it.
I hope you post more in the future.
Hi to you both & other old timers here.
Reason I'm not around here-
Near total lack of insight that the scamdemic, population control, poisonous "vaccines", transhumanism, global gaslighting, are all connected & are all directly related to peak oil.
My guess why most others are not around here aside from what I just wrote-
For years this site was much about prepping, for a presumed more or less uncontrolled collpase.
Instead, we have the Agenda 21 & the big fat lies it's problem, reaction, solution manifesto relies on.
The best & brightest here did prep, in our individual ways.
Instead of a chaotic collapse we have an engineered one underway, but most of the preps still work.
I arrived at 2020 living on a yacht I had owned for 5 years, shortly later I sold my sedan & bought a small campervan, so now two off grid living arrangements. Over the previous decade I worked my way up in the transport industry to the highest category of trucks, oversize road trains. Throughout the scamdemic I have been able to work whenever I needed to. Meanwhile I've quit a lot of things, never drink or smoke, I'm pretty much vegan, major fitness kick, have cut my living expenses by 80%.
I am kept busy with a mix of advocacy, teaching common & natural law, online & real world activism. I work as little as possible as I have no interest in propping up the filthy liars running this shit show.
My children are now early teens & thriving, unpoisoned. My social life no longer revolves around regularly back & forth to Asia. Mostly I'm up & down the east coast of Australia.
