Peak Insiders

by Chris Martenson

Executive Summary

  • Why the next 7 years will be so critical to preparing yourself
  • A realistic strategy for adopting a ‘back to the land’ lifestyle
  • Why the route to our salvation will look like a leap into the unknown
  • Why those who see what’s coming & take action will be those who prosper

Today there are 220,000 more humans on the planet than there were yesterday.  Each day a city’s worth of new humans all wanting food, warmth, cars, smartphones and internet.

Meanwhile, the most important resource of them all, oil, is set to begin waning right around 2030, give or take.

Once people catch onto the idea that infinite growth is not possible, and that oil is THE limiting resource for a global, just-in-time economic system, everything we think we know about money and politics changes.

As I am fond of asking, what are stocks worth in a world without growth?

How will government respond when faced with having to square off against each other for dwindling resources?

The answers I come up with make me extremely confident that big changes are coming in the near-term.

Now, what do I mean by near-term?

I mean that by the year… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary

  • Why today’s ‘magnificent folly’ will unwind in the 2020s
  • The return of Peak Oil
  • Why the pace of change will accelerate faster from here
  • Why time is of the essence for those with the courage to act

If you have not yet read Part 1: Good Riddance To The ‘Twenty-Teens’, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

 

This next decade will be a banquet of consequences.

Our misdeeds and mistakes will all be coming home to roost.

I certainly hope you are  taking steps to prepare yourself for them. I certainly am.

The subversion of our free and fair markets has resulted in the most radical, interventionist, large-scale social experiment ever run in the modern developed world.

The early returns, unless you’re a member of the 0.1%, are dismal across the board.

The 2020’s will see the unwinding of this magnificent folly. It’s collapse will be extremely painful for the vast majority of humanity.

You see, the extremely dangerous thing about credit bubbles is that they… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary

  • Despite attempts to distract us, the systemic rot is accelerating
  • Why an approaching painful reset is a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ at this point
  • The big step I’ve just taken in my own planning
  • An opportunity for a few interested others to join me

If you have not yet read Part 1: Bubbles Are Brutal , available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

What sort of country lavishes unnecessary wealth on its already-rich citizens while cutting off access to food for its very poorest?  What kind of culture provides endless backstops and bailouts for the financial elites (socialism for the rich) no matter the cost to the rest of society?

Not a healthy one, that’s for sure.

Similar disheartening stories abound for rapacious drug pricing (insulin, inhalers, etc., ad nauseum), profoundly underfunded pensions, disappearing insects and other species, increasing weather oddities, oceans filled with plastic, and other such mega-predicaments.

None of this is remotely healthy.  It speaks of decay and rot, as seems to happen throughout history when empires teeter-totter ever closer to their expiration date.

Did you know that the only two rich societies in the world with falling life expectancies, incomes, savings, happiness, trust — every single social indicator you can imagine — are America and Britain?

How is any of this tolerable to anybody?  How much longer will people tolerate this sloppy mess? And what will they do when they awaken to its dangers and injustice?

I want you to become prepared and resilient for what’s coming next. Don’t just sit there hoping for the best.

Personally, I’m in full-blown action mode right now.

Specifically, I’ve just made the major investment to… (Enroll now to continue reading)

Executive Summary

  • Useful frameworks for time management
  • Building better health through functional fitness, mobility & sleep
  • Building stronger relationships through science
  • Building resilient/passive income streams (that you own & control)

If you have not yet read Part 1: Living On Borrowed Time , available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

We often ends our articles on this site with “It’s time.”

By that, we mean there’s no wiggle room left.

If we want to avoid being collateral damage when the systems we depend on inevitably snap due to their inherent unsustainability, we’ve got to get going — now! — on transitioning to the models that will persist afterwards.

Society will not likely do this advance work. But you can.

Vision Elements

As many Peak Prosperity readers are aware, I’m working closely with a few of you behind the scenes on wrestling a lot of ideas expressed on this site into a grand vision of a model for a new and better way of living — one that improves upon the many unsustainable and failing elements of the current status quo.

The idea to which I am now most keenly attracted, and which is drawing so much of my attention, concerns being in a community dedicated to regeneration.   For the land, for each of us as individuals, for each other, and especially for the all the generations to come.

There’s a bottomless amount of work to be done.  The task is relentless.  And it’s rewarding and meaningful.

I’m reading many excellent books and articles and doing what I do best, which is to sift through a lot of information, enough so that a coherent distillation can be created and then shared.

Here are the gleanings so far… (Enroll now to continue reading)
