King Midas

Wealthy people seem to pose with their big, powerful status symbols (cars) giving little thought, or no thought at all, to the consumption of resources. Always selfishly only thinking of themselves. Not a moment’s thought to what they are doing. As though increased wealth generates the fuel to run the machines. It will all run out one day. Eventually.

The expensive car (cheap for the rich, company importance and status etc - you don’t see the 'ordinary' salesman driving a Lexus) that doesn’t go anywhere since there will be no fuel, so it will be absolutely worthless. What is the substitute when it does run out? And who cares about the future generation: their own children? They certainly don’t. Very short term thinking.

There are none so blind as
those that will not see

I believe that the environmentalist is a caring long term visionary.

I find it all an amusing vision. But nothing much to laugh about. There will be no fuel or oil and that will be the end for us all.

The world is geared to run on oil. And the ludicrous concept of creating wealth.

Nothing can be made. Nothing can be moved. Nothing will work anyway that requires lubrication. Everything will just...

...stop

When will that be? Greedy people will leave material wealth for their descendants (very commendable), but nobody has ever been able to survive by eating money.

The wheel inexorably goes around to close the circle and take us back to those early days of the hunter and the hunted. Which are you?

Better sharpen your knives, arrows and spears anyway, but make sure you don your armour as well. Just in case you can't decide which you are. Or make a serious mistake. A lethal one.
