PowerSwitch

LB3, he criticizes the "entitlement society", yet recommends investment in farms, don't you see a contradiction there? Isn't the invester a parasite in this system as he sucks out part of the profit he had no business in producing. Aren't the investers the "People who take, but don't ...

A great podcast done by two great young (yes!) guys that I have had the pleasure to meet in montreal.

They usually invite some really interesting people, some of which I am sure you have all heard of.

Excellent talk! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! As the world falls apart, people indulge in such ridiculous fantasies...
culture of 2 year-olds...

I think bundles of economic figures were supposed to come out today and yesterday. The figures might have been terrible, hence having drastic repercussions on oil prices.

I'd do exactly what you're doing with the addition of getting together a bit of cash. Learn as much as you can, find somewhere where you feel comfortable and are a valuable resource and settle down and become as self-sufficient as possible. Yep, makes the most sense to me. cash can be hard to come ...

montreal.degrowth.org There wouldn't be any PowerSwitchers here, would there? This conference is pretty good, considering the youth of de-growth in north America. Still quite a bit of non-sense though. I had the pleasure of seeing Charles Hall, who did a very good job as expected. (A breath of fresh...

Aged public servant : And this is what peak oil is and why we're in a big pile of shit.
Obama : oh fuuuuuck!

KFP : hehehehe, nice farming!

So, what would you people do if you were just coming out of uni? (and aware of peak oil/limits to growth...)

Sorry, I meant 2030!

(according to the 2012 update to the limits to growth)

Canada is a wee bit too cold especially for a post-petroleum world. The predictions made by the Limits To Growth study of the 1970's are right on track apparently. They didn't say that it would collapse straight away, they made several predictions according to our course of action, and we are follow...

True, and sitting through one of my sessions isn't exactly as touchy-feely as Rob Hopkins or Ben Brangwyn. So, do you cater to people of all backgrounds? If so, how do you do that? If not, what are the backgrounds of your attendees? I have the feeling Rob Hopkins went through all the process of rea...

Mobbsey - I am not sure, Dmitry Orlov doesn't seem to be part of that kind of people. He maybe has the same background, but has his feet on the ground. At least I think so from what I heard him say.

I don't know the others in depth.

I am a 20-year old European thinking about getting into farming after university. If you have any advice / programs you know of, let me know! Absolutely! Hopefully your university training is in something like energy extraction or production, geology or high tech wiring, and then you won't have to ...
