“It will quickly become apparent that the present world population of six and a half billion people is not only dependent on oil, but was created by it: humanity has expanded to fill the space made possible to it by oil, and without that oil it would shrink with astounding rapidity.As for the costs to “the economy,” there won’t be any “economy.” Money will vanish: the only items of exchange will be food, water, and most likely — before everyone topples over — sex.”

The absurd fragility - and stupidity - of our predicament, renders both money and oil as mere illusions that, when taken to their full realization, only violently fall on their faces, leaving nothing behind but destruction.

“Sustainable” is a word that just doesn’t make sense within the horizon of perpetual growth, as blind and perverse denial of finitude, and is ultimately another form of denial and legitimation of the blatant absurdity of growth.

Perhaps the most abyssal realization, is the impossibility of sustaining any of our so celebrated technological advancements, and any measure of our so called human progress, outside the baseless systems of money and oil.

62 individuals own more than 50% of the wealth, and when that club narrows down along with the further accumulation of wealth, no disavowal of inequality will be an option to the fact that we are slaves.

Slaves not - only - to billionaires, but firstly to a system, that will not be broken by our rebellion or by force against our overlords, but by its own inevitable demise, which will drag us all and equally down with it.
