[Oe List ...] Another Perspective

Agreed. The crisis on the surface may mask the deeper problems.

Dear Colleagues,

 

Not so fast!  To try and compare our current situation with 29 is a fallacy
(bank failures, mortgage failures, etc.).  We live in totally different
times with a global economy and much more powerful forces at work.  We are
in a much more chaotic time, by that I mean the number of factors that can
affect any situation and the complexity are so much more that we don't know
where in the world, or what in the world will tip things.  Secondly, if you
haven't watched the chapters on <http://www.chrismartenson.com> please do
so.  You will see that we are living in "hockey stick" times.   That is, all
the curves that affect our lives are in the exponential part of the curves.
We are heading up rapidly on every curve that matters and when they all
interact there is no telling what the result will be except that we are
headed for monumental change.  I defy anyone to look at the present
statistics and project what will happen.  The intersections of the Economy,
Energy and Environment have never happened before.  So before we calm down
and say the sky isn't falling, let's get a clear picture of what is and is
not holding up the sky these days.

 

G&P,

 

Jack
