Recently I came across this guy named Chris Martenson. I did his "Crash Course" in Economics, Energy and Environment (The 3 E's). I highly recommend checking it out. Everything is spelled out clearly for you regarding important things to think about for our collective future: our economy, monetary system, resource depletion, population growth, peak oil, our environment. It's very well done. It's basically set up as a bunch of power point lectures narrarated and animated by Dr. Martenson. There's a lot of information, but over a few sessions you can take in a lot. I may even watch it again.
The truth about future resource depletion, the current global monetary crisis, and how we humans will fare in a future of less, can be a little shocking to say the least. But, it is a fact. One of my strongest convictions about the future is that it's not going to be like the recent past. The near future will be one of societal complexity contraction. This contraction will bring about disruptions in the way we organize our ways of life, the way we farm, transport our food and ourselves, the way we manage the 10,000+ year old project of civilization.
The more you know...
Peace,
Grant
