Nearly everyone assumes that the world economy can continue to grow for many, many years into the future. The physics of the situation indicates that this is not true, however. We are now in a situation where there is not enough inexpensive-to-extract energy for the economy to continue to grow; near-term collapse seems very likely. The response of the economy to COVID-19 is evidence of the extent of inadequate supply of energy of the kind required. In some ways, the situation bears similarities to the end times problems forecast in the book of Revelation.

    tl;dr: old peak-oil theories recycled and mixed with a dose of conspiracy theories. Better spend your time reading something else :(

        From the article:

        The need for vaccine passports in some countries reminds a person of Revelation 13:17, “they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” In fact, people in Sweden are getting microchip implants after its latest COVID passport mandate.

        This is an absurd conspiracy theory and that is just one of many such examples in the later part of the article.

          Wow!! I didn’t read the article, just a quick look at the graphics, but it’s incredible how people can mix reasonable data with silly stuff like microchips in vaccines.

          Thanks for your comment!
