#JohnMichaelGreer on top form this week, revealing the Secret of the Sages, which I indeed used to transform my life utterly:

Some critiques of #JohnMichaelGreer I encountered. I'm not familiar with the man and his writings enough to say, but they seem valid. I wouldn't be surprised if true, since people that profess they understand everything often fall prey to their own ego.

One is a review of his book: https://www.amazon.com/Ecotechnic-Future-Envisioning-Post-Peak-World-ebook/dp/B002TLTSB0/ and another is a Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/comments/xkl17s/comment/iqdf22n/

"It so happens, though, that a particular kind of incompetence does indeed tend to turn to violence when every other option has fallen flat, and goes down in a final outburst of pointless bloodshed. It’s unpleasantly likely at this point that the climate change movement, or some parts of it, may end up taking that route into history’s dumpster; here again, we’ll get to that a little further on in this post."
