Democracy Just Might Kill Us All

It was better than dictators or monarchs until it wasn’t — In the beginning. Pirates, many the ex minions of cruel imperial ship captains, made it a point to be equals when they became pirates. Though slandered by Treasure Island, the idea of a pure democracy pioneered by pirates was a more accurate picture. Democracy precedes the 17th and 18th Centuries…

Civilization’s Fall May Not Be the End, But It Will Be a Hard New Beginning

And it is coming sooner than you think — There are many people out there that don’t believe me when I talk about the fall of our civilization coming so soon. I can understand that. They may be in denial. They may not have drilled down for the information needed to come to that conclusion yet. They may suspect…

Your Energy Overlords Have Been Remiss — It Doesn’t Bode Well

As long as their bottom lines keep increasing, they don’t give a crap about us or the planet — Oil companies are enjoying obscene profits in a world reputably trying to transform to renewable energy. Instead of a segue from petroleum and funding nuclear or other energy schemes they have talked the government into CO2 sequestration whereby giant machines will scrub CO2 from the atmosphere (paid for by your…

How Dumb Can Republicans Be?

I wish most members of Congress were this dumb … about this one thing at least — One of the things Senator Bernie Sanders promised when he was running for President was to get corporate money out of politics. It was a politically brave pronouncement, but a necessary step in getting American politics to line up with world realities outside of corporate boardrooms — things like climate…

Why Is Geoengineering the Planet So Scary? Aren’t We Already Doing That?

Okay, those results are terrifying, but we’re running out of options and time — A scientific paper was published Nov. 2 of this year with the understated title of “Global Warming in the Pipeline” and headed up by Dr. James E. …

Is Anyone Building the Electric Machinery to Get Us Beyond Oil?

The short answer is “its complicated” — When people think of oil, they usually think of gas for the car and an occasional quart of oil in the crankcase. Ships, mining equipment, glass, steel, pharmaceuticals, cement, specialty plastics and lubricants, freight trains, farm machinery, fertilizer, airplanes, most industrialization, and eighteen wheelers should also come to mind because…

Oil Will Cause the Collapse of Civilization in Thirty-Five Years

Why is no one talking about this — “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes — and ships — and sealing-wax — Of cabbages — and kings — And why the sea is boiling hot — And whether pigs have wings.” Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland In order, interpreting roughly…

God Gave Us Stewardship of the Earth — We Screwed Up Big Time

How do you think They feel about that — Traveling south out of Waco you see biblical sounding towns like Levi, Lott, and Asa. It is the Bible belt. Old Testament. I grew up in this part of Texas. …

Civilization Is Collapsing — What You Can Do

You can’t prevent it, but there’s something you can do for yourself and loved ones — Upon casual inspection this looks like a thriving civilization. People going to the grocery store, attending church, smiling at each other on the street. But there is an edge, a vibe that hints at wrongness. Too many days over a hundred degrees. Too much rain when it comes. Too much…

Einstein, in 1949, Predicted How and Why Society Would Go Sideways

Unfortunate that he didn’t run for President. Way too smart. And born in Germany. — We live in a world where everything is owned by a relatively small group of individuals. In the process of accumulating all that stuff they ruined the environment and wantonly depleted planetary resources for future generations. They have left us a precarious future full of famine, drought, and unrelenting heat…
