I love this guy’s writing. And I myself am concerned about the collapse of major organizations and even nation states.

In summary:

Our modern way of life is doomed and you should prepare for a simpler life style.

IMO, if we were to begin building nuclear power generating plants now as fast as practical (A Manhattan style project), in 25 years we would be the manufacturing power-house of the world again.
Manufacturing companies would be attracted to the cheap energy because oil will be $200-$300.00 a barrel.(Maybe more)

We could presently use the construction jobs the building of the nuclear plants would bring.

Otherwise, we're headed for third-worldism just because of energy costs.

...but if I understand his thesis, if you can foresee the event, then it’s not a “black swan” event.

It’s amusing that in Fooled by Randomness he endorses Global Warming.

An entertaining, flawed writer.

And all the princes will marry beautiful princesses, and they’ll all live happily ever after.
