It's already been happening. Very good this enormously belated recognition
of the ludicrous stronghold the desire to go anywhere anytime anyhow (cheap
available oil) in those selfish old-fashioned disgusting machines (cars) has
on us 'civilised' humans. So be it (as Nietzsche once said much better), if
humanity perishes... All this hysteria over being able to go for a cheap
ride-thrill everyday in order to maintain some obscene notion of freedom or
to maintain wage-slavery in the same name of freedom, no matter what's been
obvious for decades if not generations.

Fuck!

ps: sorry Malcom if I've not caught the entire drift of your piece but
infuriated over this. As if that (the oil prob) were the actual real
problem!

What can you mean by "progress"?
