Do you believe we can make a return to business as usual, without access to cheap, dense forms of energy?
I mean, not only have the human population gone way far into overshoot, exceeding earth's carrying capacity many times over (with the Green Revolution and all that), but the stuff that made this possible is now dwindling - fast.
I like to hug trees, I like to sniff the flowers, I'm welcoming the collapse, but to say that it's going to be small taters...that's just obtuse man
It's scary, because on top of societal collapse, it means that the mother of malthusian catastrophes is right on the feckin' doorstep.
Anyways, enough from chicken little --->

Be unafraid and walk towards that new tomorrow and now and then say "fuck it". Fuck big oil, fuck big profit, fuck greedy societies, fuck the system that supports greed.
