Paradigm Blindness

- James Howard Kunstler -

Kunstler, as he always does, states the obvious: that our economy is in trouble -- which is something all can agree to.

As to the cause of that, at least in this article, Kunstler is vague; but we know from previous articles that he thinks our civilization based on oil is doomed and about to collapse. He says as much here in the following: "There is absolutely no way that the American people can continue their Happy Motoring frolic for another generation, yet the Irvine Company is still busy slapping together new monocultures of housing pods, strip malls, and all the other usual furnishings with the kind of stupid confidence of people intoxicated on Rotary Club bullshit — which is to say zeal minus consciousness." However his premise of peak oil may well be wrong; certainly the premise of peak energy is wrong.

No, Kunstler just doesn't like the way people have chosen to live their lives. He doesn't like big cities, or strip malls, or private automobiles: all that depresses him as we have heard in countless screeds. He prefers a lower profile for human society as he concludes his article with: "The emergent path of going medieval means living in smaller, tighter towns and doing some kind of business, or working some kind of trade, that is based in the economy of the town and its region."

I have no problem with that approach if that is what individuals chose to do. My gripe with Kunstler has been my sense that he would use the power of government to coerce people into that kind of life. Nothing he says here indicates that but, in my opinion, the sum of his utterances certainly point in that direction and I've read a lot of them. Kunstler is Big Brother masked as Father Nature.

There are many that feel as he does and they are feel to set up communities based on his ideas, but I am not one of them and don't wished to be compelled to be do.

Début de l'article :Something is sucking the air out of the humid terrarium that is US politics, making the lizards, tarantulas, and scorpions within hyperventilate. That something is the vacuum of disappearing wealth. All the accounting fraud, statistical mis-reporting, price manipulations, naked-short beat-downs, high-speed arbitrage hijinks, and carry trade rackets can’t conceal the reality that the nation is going broke – at least 99 percent of the nation. The remaining 1 percenters, outside the terrarium, are... Lire la suite
