Understanding our finite world


Gail Tverberg.
Allowing the reality that we live in a finite world to influence or impact on our thinking is equally forbidden as is publically discussing the meaning of life.

The latter has privately troubled philosophers and thinkers for millennia, but the finitude of our world is still not considered much by anyone, from world leaders to those next door.

However, an actuary interested in finite world issues – oil depletion, natural gas depletion, water shortages and climate change, Gail Tverberg had made something of a study of finitude.

In a story headed: “Why a finite world is a problem”, she helps us understand that oil limits looks very different from common expectations, with high prices leading to recession and low prices resulting in inadequate supply.

Gail gives eleven clear and irrefutable reasons why our finite world is a problem.
