@breadandcircuses Yeah now that I've had some sleep I think the main points are:
Not to take peak oil doomers entirely seriously
They don't take climate impacts seriously; IMHO a lot of the increasing system fragility relates to this
I remain convinced that there is a non-zero risk of collapse, and I am uncertain whether it will be fast or slow
Whether that happens or not, mass suffering is inevitable, and we can reduce that
That the material costs of the transition don't make it infeasible
That the transition will be a lot faster, less damaging, and less risk of a rapid collapse, if we reduce demand as well as deploying appropriate technologies
That politics includes feedback loops, but we can influence them
And my usual point about building networks to fight for the future; these will also help us to adapt to it
