What if your existence is based on the original problems of BigOil / Petrol discovery / extraction and bullshit.... I mean specifically that if we are breed on it and wouldn't be able to have all this stuff then then doesn't it make impossible US (USA, US in world production based on petroleum products etc) to come out of that?
My idea is perhaps just to slow things down but that means just slowly dying mostly.

I really believe your whole life is almost allowed by Petroleum else you would be naked without it.

How to 'stop' that is unbelievably hard to control as we don't have control more then the ultimatum of this designed life or almost nothing.

Using it now is the based for everything by design (including your job, getting there, the trainers on your feet, clothes you wear)...
The based foundation / sins of ma$$ive BigOil etc is what we never saw or did ourselves and even if we know / understand what to do other than live like me somewhat ?

It's difficult as once you have something bad somewhere it's slower less obvious consumption of energy (though for me it's really obvious when your clothes label says Polyester*....)
