At every level of society, from personal to global, we face mounting crises in The 3 Es – Energy, Economy, Environment. These have been well documented on this podcast right back to its beginning in 2012. But they’re nothing new. The first major signs of pinch points involving all three arguably first appeared during the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, national, international and global institutions based on and attempting to exert control over these systems have been dominated by the idea that there is a technological solution to every problem. However, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, problems with energy supply and the monetary system are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

What this may mean for our day to day lives is finally beginning to manifest in mass consciousness, even as technocratic government and corporate elites scramble to suppress the gathering signs of systemic stress and ultimately, collapse. The current war in Iran should give us pause as we watch an advanced society struggling to cope without water, without food, without power, without communications. Is it time to consider how such crushing constraints might impact you in the not too distant future?
