likely due to experiencing insufficient social experiences and being conditioned to rely on work to feel content.  So do any of you experience long bouts of
boredom and what do you do to combat it? ]]></description>

Here&#39;s my favorite excerpt:

You are here to help.</strong> In the culture of Empire, we are trained to think of ourselves as here to &quot;succeed,&quot; to build wealth and status and

			<description><![CDATA[ For many years, people have been talking of a coming collapse. Some say it will be a slow crash (Mr. Prieur) giving us time to adapt, others say there will be
a fast, brutal crash such as the scary fear mongers on the Peak Oil forums.
<br>
Last year when the stock market started doing bad, conformists and even mainstream media giants like CNN talked about a possible economic collapse.

Whenever I read an article about climate change and the anthropogenic effect on it, there will always be... ]]></description>

you&#39;ve seen it already or not. I got a bit skeptical but still interested in how he explains that he&#39;s &quot;ex-doomer&quot;  that thinks doomers are
caught in this dead-end explanation of how we will always rely on oil.

to bug humans and cause immense suffering to oneself and others.  What are your thoughts on the human ego?  Is it mostly a bad thing?  Is it mostly a good
thing?  Is it neither?

Take a soup can, and pour in rubbing alcohol just good old 70% stuff you can get anywhere. An inch or two is fine. Light it - if it&#39;s cold it may be hard
to start and I use a little butane torch I have. But a long match and some patience should work fine too. You&#39;ll get a flame, and it will burn for a while,
