Fossil Fuel Shills Are Us This brief Contemplation is the comment I shared on the latest article by The Honest Sorcerer. Welcome to the club of being a ‘fossil fuel shill’ and ‘climate change denier’, ad hominem attacks I too have sustained in the journey of writing about the inherent…

Our Banking System: Government vs. Private Control, Part 1 This rather lengthy Contemplation (that I’ve decided to break into two parts) has been prompted by a comment shared in response to an article I posted on my personal Facebook page regarding the inevitable collapse of the world’s banking system. In…

While I take a break from my typical Contemplation posts here is the seventh and final installment of chapters from the fourth book in my fictional novel series (that stalled a few years ago but had ready). Here are the links to PDF files of Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter…

This Contemplation has been prompted by an excellent post by Erik Michaels of Problems, Predicaments, and Technology (a site well worth the time exploring), and is my comment in response to it.

Conversation on this post: JT: It’s just (sadly not yet enough) common sense, really. SB: Much has been lost for a variety of reasons, perhaps most notably because of our ‘success’ in leveraging…

Another of my comments on The Honest Sorcerer’s latest post, that discusses our inevitable low-tech future… Yet another excellent look into what is likely to befall humanity in the not so distant future. And, as has happened once again, your thinking is quite similar to my own on these complexities…

Yet another brief Contemplation that is a response and some follow-ups to an article posted in a Facebook group I help to administer regarding the mythical narrative of ‘renewables’ saving us money and from ourselves. Non-renewable, renewable energy-harvesting technologies (NRREHT) do absolutely zero/zilch/nada in addressing our fundamental predicament of ecological…
