Four Scenarios for a Catastrophic Future (part II)

Four Scenarios for a Catastrophic Future (part II)

This is the second part of the series of posts by “Rutilius Namatianus” (RN) that re-examines the 4 scenarios of the future proposed by David Holmgren in 2009 (first part). 

 In general, you may find that RN’s interpretations are rather extreme, but I do believe that there is some method in the overall madness of the current situation and that the post may correctly identify some of of the reasons why we are here. You will also notice that RN is “not convinced” that Anthropogenic Global Warming is real. I disagree with this position, but I felt that this post was worth publishing nevertheless. If nothing else as evidence of how fast the prestige of science is collapsing, by now more or less at the same level as that of the cult of the Spaghetti Monster. 

Overall, RN argues that we have moved into the scenario that Holmgren called the “Brown Tech” scenario, where the ruling elites have decided that the way to go is to concentrate all the remaining resources for their use, while the commoners are left in the cold. RN describes this scenario as “a totalitarian monster gripping power through a pervasive surveillance and police state, and the majority of the population pressed into poverty and dependence.” Enjoy this post!
