I don't think you are socially stunted, your probably just an honest guy that says what he thinks and you are probably actually right all the time.
People hate that.
Barnum once said "There is a sucker born every minute"
and also
"Give em what they want"
He, lika a lot of politicians, know the secret of politics.
People will believe exactly what they want to believe -
You just gotta make them think you came up with it.
So to make money, all you have to do is find what they WANT and then give them what they want, in a way that only you can do it.
If you tell anyone the truth 100% of the time eventually they will kill you.
So it just depends on wether you want to be honest or rich.
To make money on peak oil, you just have to get them to believe you have the answer, and you just buy this or that you'll be alright. Like how to build your own solar powered coconut grove tax free in the mariannes complete with Sailboat and surfboard and local natives to do your laundry.
Tell them the truth and there will be problems. Your circle of friends will diminish. They don't want to hear that.
You don't want to be telling them "Next year you won't be able to afford a vacation!"
Or "Better buy two pizzas and freeze one, peak oil is coming" That gets old.
People don't WANT to cut back, and they WON'T Some end up here because they believe, most do not believe. After all they can still fill up and go out to eat, why worry?
The way its going now with conservation the way it is, is maybe a small percentage delay in peak oil, hookay, so that is better than nothing.
What can you do? They don't believe you. Stay healthy, get used to being alone, and enjoying nature, be with your family and spend time with them while you ahve them. learn to be at peace with yourself and help everyone you can. To get the world to buy into lifestyle change sounds great but they won't do it if they don't want to believe it. So don't force it on family.
best way is to just point them to this web site, if they catch it, then that is great. otherwise don't worry about it, they won't believe it.
