This is the presentation I gave to open up our annual seminar. It’s
important and needs to be shared.
Our view, my view, at Peak Prosperity is that the world is full of
increasingly large risks and there’s nobody really in charge who either
grasps it or, even if they did, could realistically do anything about it.
There’s too much complexity to manage. Things are speeding up. In
the words of Hemingway, I expect all this to proceed slowly, then all at
once. We’re pretty much there.
The root of it all is energy. We’re at the tail end of the age of oil. That’s
winding down. Most of what has been pitched as oil’s replacement is
vapor-ware, an unseemly assemblage of fictions and fantasies that
cannot possibly coalesce into the promised pain-free transition.
Worse, there seems to be even less awareness of or appreciation for
the fact that our entire system of money is geared to the fantasy of
endless exponential growth that oil and natural gas, and coal afforded
us for an all-too-brief window of time.
The changes, when they come, will be shockingly fast.
So, what do you do?
My model for orienting ourselves to that involves (1) education, (2)
being open to the idea that actual change is more of an emotional
process than a cognitive shift, and (3) that our most important assets
are the people with whom we surround ourselves.
This video lays out the case.
