I realize this isn't a member quote, but I find it pretty relevant to the idea of Peak Oil in general. I'm not sure how old it is, but I know I heard of it long before I heard about Peak Oil. Perhaps expanding the idea of quotes to include this like this could be considered.

"Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that Money cannot be Eaten."

Cree Indian Prophecy

Err, hate to break it to the audience but that's what most Pagan people over IQ 60 would normally call a 'curse'. Not something to be re-printed all over the place, that's for certain.

For fairly obvious reasons, I didn't tell him about Peak Oil. You can imagine the conversations: "I hope we can hurry up with this project, before the US Economy collapses. By the way, don't get too fond of your dogs, you might have to eat them someday soon."

Posting on this forum is a trip into a broader understanding for most of us, but for the narcissist it is an ongoing baptism in a swirling eddy of information that is shrunken down to small and distinct puddle, easily understood, and one they can gaze in to worship themselves.

I doubt if people in general will ever realize that growth in a post peak world will no longer be possible until the entire structure of modern civilization has been redesigned.

We haven’t even begun that process, so don’t expect anything but contraction and it accompanying hardships for at least the rest of this generation.

That is regardless of "butterfly effect".
Influence of an individual is irrelevant in our current situation.
I would say, whatever we can possibly do, it will be too little and too late.
So relax and watch a film as long as you can...
