Kris,

I run a Peak Oil website (http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net) and am starting a cult . . . excuse me - "post oil sustainable commune" - in the woods here in Northern California. Perhaps you'd be interested in being the cult's . . . excuse me "community's" Alpha-Female. If so, feel free to contact me via the website.

Best,

Matt

Ha...Matt,

You have no scruples whatsoever. I think she's a bit too intelligent for your band of monkeys!!

Attn Kris & Matt:

I think you two would make an excellent match--just an opinion from an older guy--hope you two can somehow meet & greet in person.

If I was 29, I'd be a dirty old man, too. Now, at 63, I'm just old and dirty.

Dude, you are true visionary!!

Until now, I've been concerning myself with oil supplies and boring stuff like that. The real solution is for the "enlightened" to form cults and let the vast majority of people die.

New Cult Checklist
--------------------
1) need a name (Calgary Cargo Cult?)
2) some land (shouldn't be a problem)
3) cult vision (repopulating the planet)
4) supreme leader (I was just elected)
5) female/male ratio (10:1, 20:1, 50:1 ?)
6) financing (I'll think of something)

Great time to be starting a cult.
After all, somebody has to do it. :))

From page 311 of The Entropy Law and the Economic Process by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen:

"..only in the late twilight ofthe human species, when human society will very likely disintegrate into small packs of humans, will the social factors which produce the circulation of elites fade away, too."

Is NOW the "late twilight" that G-R means?

Anyone else read this book? I found it haunting, interesting, prescient. It was published in 1971, by the way!

I thing you are going to need more than a website and some land.

The culture hasn't yet made the shift to: sustainable lifestyle = superior mate.

During this transition period, you are probably going to have to spice up your offer with some of the more traditional attractants. Diamonds and gold make good bait, especially in an inflationary environment.

Now you just hold on one minute, Matt Savinar! I'm the one that's gonna be puttin' together the post apocalyptic peak oil cult! I'm gonna call it "The Church of Unlimited Credit," and I'm the "All Knowing, All Seeing One Of Great Vision."

Just so we have that understood...
