By
John Michael Greer Summer 2010. Our resulting predicament can be stated
simply enough. The industrial world no longer has the resources or time
to change fast enough to a oide its own decline and fall. The U.S
government may be in a position to loan Wall Street $700 billion it
doesn´t have-in today´s economy, money is so close to a mass
hallucination that it´s not surprising to see it wished into being soi
casually-but resources such as fossil fuels, trained labor forces, and
time are not so flexible. In the shadow of these unmentionable
realities, the world is hurtling towards unwelcome future for which
most of us are hopelessly unprepared.
