Default Re: does peak oil cause intelligence to drop?

Surely you are not saying that a top-down command and control approach is reasonable?

I am saying that you cannot dismiss highly intelligent people out-of-hand.

In fact you lambasted me for lumping you in with these nutcases, for which I apologize.

[/ QUOTE ]
No, you can lump me in with anyone you like, but if you are discussing with me you should not attack ideas I have not put forward. Using "well, some other people are saying these other things" as an attack on my arguments is not ok.

My typo. I meant drop in demand growth, which is still significant.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it is, just not as significant as an actual drop in demand would have been.
I've seen different numbers on the demand growth, both for last year and this year. But I agree with you that the demand growth has been slowing.

As for the rest of your post I will have to read the article now, be back later
