Off The Cuff: Why Most Will Remain Unaware Until Its Too Late

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris discusses:

  • The Folly Of Pursuing Infinite Growth On A Finite Planet
    • Limits simply matter
  • The Signs Of Limits Are All Around Us
    • Depleting resources, stagnating wages, weakening economies
  • Few See The Signs Though
    • The "noise" of politics, media & markets distracts the masses
  • Where To Direct Your Focus
    • What to watch to track the onset of the approaching crisis

This week Chris gives a 30,000-foot view of the big predicaments facing our global society. Most of the signals of the arriving crises won't be tracked by most people — draining aquifers, species loss, declining net energy. The masses are only going to pay attention when the signaling media they focus on — the financial markets, the news reports, the unemployment rate, home prices  — start to show panic. By then, it will be far too late to avoid the unfolding pain.

Chris provides this backdrop as a prelude to a 16-minute discussion with David Stockman in which they dive into the main points the upcoming New York City Summit will address.
