Food for thought. I don't buy into the whole peak oil thing as being the cause of this collapse, though I used to. I now think that's mostly a psyops to cover up the real corruption - pedophilia, weapons trafficking, drug trafficking, financial fraud, etc. etc. etc., not to mention the technologies being suppressed that could solve many of our problems - but Orlov has a perspective on collapse borne of experience, and for the sake of surviving, he's definitely worth reading, especially the second half of the presentation. - Ed.
Excerpt:
There are two components to human nature, the social and the solitary. The solitary is definitely the more highly evolved, and humanity has surged forward through the efforts of brilliant loners and eccentrics. Their names live on forever precisely because society was unable to extinguish their brilliance or to thwart their initiative. Our social instincts are atavistic and result far too reliably in mediocrity and conformism. We are evolved to live in small groups of a few families, and our recent experiments that have gone beyond that seem to have relied on herd instincts that may not even be specifically human. When confronted with the unfamiliar, we have a tendency to panic and stampede, and on such occasions people regularly get trampled and crushed underfoot: a pinnacle of evolution indeed! And so, in fashioning a survivable future, where do we put our emphasis: on individuals and small groups, or on larger entities - regions, nations, humanity as a whole? I believe the answer to that is obvious.
