I know Nate Hagens from The Oil Drum, which was my source of education on energy issues back when I first got sick in 2007. This channel is a dense, grim sort of thing, that’s always been the case with the peak oilers. We dodged that particular bullet, at least temporarily, by trading fresh water for liquid fuel, and the people who once congregated on TOD have all moved on.
I’ve been involved in sense-making efforts since 2009 so this post on what Nate is experiencing, as he tries to change direction, resonates strongly for me. I’ll be a regular viewer now that I’ve rediscovered him, and you should at least look over what he’s doing, to see if it’s a fit for you as well.
I incorporate this into my main thesis on how to help information consumers develop emotional resilience. We all must conquer the withdrawals of dopamine and live life in the real world for a few weeks where we can hug each other and find our common humanity.
Try it and get back to me. 🙏♥️
