The Collapse of the Modern World Economy

I saw this when it came out and thought of Arthur Schopenhauer's words.

 

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

German philosopher (1788 - 1860)

 

Most people are still in Stage One (including many TTBums), like the woman I met in a jacuzzi the other night who didn't know what all the fuss over oil was about, because, after all, it's a renewable resource. She wasn't as bad as the ex-Marine who did two tours in Iraq who still thought the same thing. How can you be risking your life in an oil-rich combat zone and not connect the dots?

 

Fortunately, you've got options. If the panhandle doesn't hold out, there's always Whitehorse! Be sure to pack mosquito netting!

ROFL Yeah, it's a renewable resource... after millions of years of and tons of rotting plant material under precise conditions... So, for us taoist immortals, we can just keep practicing through a few more epochs and then start all over again. What fun!
