If I could go back and edit my post I would do that to soften the tone a little. The people on this board are all in the top 50%, and likely the top 10%, of human intellect.
But humans are not good at deeply understanding some things. Compound interest is one. EROEI is another.
I suspect that many WEF participants long ago concluded that if nobody but them can figure out the climate change is 'code speak' of peak oil and most of the rest can't figure out that availability and economic cost are *irrelevant* than...well, obviously...most of humanity needs to be treated like a mushroom and worked around and RULED. Ruled by THEM, of course, since they are the only 1% who passed the intelligence test.
Question your premises. DEEPLY understand EROEI and the physics and other factors in play here, including the history. Pass the test. Panic early and avoid the rush.
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon
