Summary: "C" stands for consciousness 120: The Long Descent KMO welcomes author and Archdruid, John Michael Greer, to the program to discuss his new book The Long Descent: A User’s Guide to the End of the Industrial Age and explore the possibility that Peak Oil may play out more like a fall down the stairs than like a plunge from a third floor balcony. Do the worldviews of Peak Oil aficionados, Singularitarians, and Trekkies all spring from the book of Revelations, and are modern visions concerning progress and the human future really just ancient religious myths in secular drag? http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/ John Michael Greer made reference to Limits to Growth. I would recommend an episode of the Electric Politics podcast in which host George Kenny interviews Dr. Dennis Meadow, one of the three co-authors of Limits to Growth: http://www.electricpolitics.com/podcast/2008/07/modeling_planetary_dynamics.html I read portions of Rapture of the Nerds, Not by Steven Smithee and made reference to the upcoming Singularity Summit: http://www.singularitysummit.com/
