*"Joseph Tainter:* * The Collapse Of Complex Societies"* by Adam Taggart "By popular demand, we welcome Joseph Tainter, USU professor and author of "The Collapse Of Complex Societies." Dr. Tainter sees many of the same unsustainable risks the PeakProsperity.com audience focuses on - an overleveraged economy, declining net energy per capita, and depleting key resources. He argues that the sustainability or collapse of a society follows from the success or failure of its problem-solving institutions. His work shows that societies collapse when their investments in social complexity ... more »

When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination - indeed, everything and anything except... more »

Tommy's takedown
Part of my frustration is due to our snails-pace broadband. We live in an area that’s supposed to be fast. I understand certain vital parts are housed miles away in some Godforsaken roadside box. Oh well. Can’t odds it, as people round here will say. (it means we can’t do anything about it except spend a whole day fruitlessly hanging on the old fashioned landline waiting for someone in India to pick up.) On The Big Questions, they’re talking about reincarnation. It occurred to me that I want to be reincarnated. When do I want it? Now! I want to be reincarnated straight away, this mi... more »
Chris Leslie and Elitist Politics
In her *Newsnight* interview with Kirsty Wark, Anna Soubry batted away questions about the politics of the newly-minted Independent Group by saying this was "something new". As this could not pertain to the tired return of warmed over Blairism (with a full-throated shout out for George Osborne, in Soubz's case), it must be something specific to TIG itself. Plenty of people have noted this is not a political party but a *corporate entity* owned by Gemini A, a company owned by TInG nobody and anti-gay bigot, Gavin Shuker. Normally it's the height of Commons manners to be discreet abo... more »
Trump: Crook? Buffoon? Fascist? All Of The Above?
*The Wall by Nancy Ohanian* It seemingly took forever, but journalists and a few tv anchors are finally calling Trump a liar. Next up, I suppose, is "mentally ill." But when will they get to "fascist?" It's not easy for corporate media to go that far, is it? But it's important that they do. Yesterday, the *Washington Post* published an essay by investigative financial journalist Jonathan Greenberg, The 6 Essential Cons That Define Trump's Success." It's spot on from beginning end but the section I want to get to in his long, well-argued essay is the fascism part towards the end. Fi... more »
"Stop Wasting Time..."
*“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”* - Marcus Aurelius "In Rome just as America, in the forum just as on Facebook, there was the temptation to replace action with argument. To philosophize instead of living philosophically. Today, in a society obsessed with content, outrage, and drama, it’s even easier to get lost in the echo chamber of the debate of what’s “better.” We can have endless discussions about what’s right and wrong. What should we do in this hypothetical situation or that one? How can we encourage other people to be better? (We can even debat... more »
"Believe in Yourself!"
"Believe in Yourself!" by Jill Badonsky “What you are is a question only you can answer.” - Lois McMaster Bujold "We tend to be attracted to confident, bold, defiant people in the world. Many times audacity can go further than even talent. The talented person who does not show belief and confidence can flounder, when someone less talented but with assertive belief can flourish. Being convinced in the merit of ourselves is an attractive energy that sells and magnetizes attention as much for the product as for the belief itself. Spending time working on confidence, acting “as if” we ... more »
Free Download: Eckhart Tolle, “The Power of Now”
"True freedom and the end of suffering is living in such a way as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience at this moment. This inner alignment with Now is the end of suffering. Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no. If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you as a human being, no humility, no compassion. *You would not be reading this now.* Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary." - Eckhart Tolle • *“The Power of Now” (... more »

*Hundreds of British university students attempt to block Jewish Society* *Hitler is still with us -- represented these days by Amnesty International. Amnesty used to be reasonably impartial. They are hard Left these days. Israel has long been their big stumbling block. They seem to have an instinctive hatred of it. They certainly show no balance in their words about it. When they look at Israel they see only "human rights abuses" and "war crimes", not the measures needed to ensure survival amid huge Arab hostility * Hundreds of students voted against the creation of a J... more »
Bramble Cay Melomys Extinction
By Paul Homewood Climate change–ravaged? Trust the BBC to make it sound melodramatic. It was described in 2016 as the first mammalian extinction caused by human-induced climate change. Now the eradication of the Bramble Cay melomys has been officially recognised by Australia, its only known home. The rodent lived solely on a tiny […]
Fight Climate Change? That’s for You Plebs!
