Dancing on the Brink

Back when I was sketching out posts for the first half of this year, I planned to go on this week to talk further about enchantment, exploring the way that the ebb and flow of enchantment seems to …

The Secret of the Sages

Two weeks ago we talked about the way that life throughout the modern industrial world has fallen into the grip of lenocracy—that is, a system in which pimping of one kind or another is the most co…

Some critiques of #JohnMichaelGreer I encountered. I'm not familiar with the man and his writings enough to say, but they seem valid. I wouldn't be surprised if true, since people that profess they understand everything often fall prey to their own ego.

One is a review of his book: https://www.amazon.com/Ecotechnic-Future-Envisioning-Post-Peak-World-ebook/dp/B002TLTSB0/ and another is a Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/xkl17s/comment/iqdf22n/

Review: The Ecotechnic Future by John Michael Greer - Resilience

John Michael Greer has officially established himself as an institution within the peak oil community. Truly one of the finest minds working on the predicament of modern-day industrial civilization, he is so well-read in so many fields that he regularly gains access to insights that utterly elude his contemporaries. For this he is treasured by a growing number of loyal readers—and, I suspect, hated by equally many fellow bloggers who wish that they could be half as good.
