How's that for projecting my internal dialog
I agree. Complacency and taking things for granted goes out the window. Everyone rallies when things tighten up. Actually, depression will also decline. All the slovenly indulgences stop. Life becomes more uncertain and more cherished. All that good stuff. Your stuff starts being cherished. Energy too ... What does this all mean? Only that we bite down and become more resilient DUE to the constraints.
Many feel that constraints and climate change and peak oil will cause collapse. I predict pretty much the opposite.
We actually are in sore need of limits.. After all, we became the species we are evolving with them. That is our default position. Not the anomaly of excess we have had the last hundred years or so.
