“So the thesis of this book stands or falls with the correctness of the decline rate that Brown gives us. Therefore I have calculated with several different parameters as regards the decline rate, and all point in the same direction. The difference between them is a few years at most. Therefore I assume that my thesis is solid, which is that the end of global net oil exports in 2030-2032 (Brown’s scenario) is a best-case scenario.
Collapse can, I think, begin in earnest already in 2026, only because of too little diesel exports. Observe that oil exports vanish successively, more and more, not all at once.” ?
"Why [Neanderthal extinction] happened is a contentious topic amongst experts. It is possible that our ancestors may have directly or indirectly contributed to this extinction, but the extent of our role remains to be determined."
You have probably seen 'this'?

Fantastic summary of the situation, thank you.

"I really like Eliza's article. It's very realistic; except for thinking that there is a way out."
There is. We won't bother because most are oblivious. Those that aren't are doing other things......🫵
Evolution is also the evolution of consciousness. This will be the key. After the collapse.
