We humans have lived thousands of years without oil I'd think that they can survive once again if there was none to use. Adaptation is something that humans seem to be very good at don't ya think? :shrug:

Well if you have no choice, you make do or die. It's just not easy giving up what you've gotten used to. How easy would life be for you without cell phones and computers, TV's, oh! And let's not forget the car as we know it. You do know that most of what a cars made with are oil products, so even electric cars won't be affordable for most of us. But getting food delivered any distance will be an expensive problem few of us will be able to afford. So diet will become skimpy and bland.

Basically we are talking a middle ages lifestyle that many of us would not care to live through again. Well almost I forgot about all the guns everyone is running around with. Bet that will keep life interesting for the survivors.
 
Greetings and Salutations to you Killjoyklown

Hi, wow, such a spot on topic!
Let it be said, peace is coming, and the linear apprehensions you here, have expressed, will subside in you, and with the comings of tomorrows betters days lie ahead, if you project tumult and disquiet in your heart and mind and spread that out, then the world will be what you projected it to be, but better, if you project faith that we are about good, and the path we follow is right and embraced it with a smile because it is the way it is to be! Then, that's what your world will be. It's all, an illusion anyway. Better to try to make a good illusion. It's up to you!
Happy , and happier will you then be! Try not to be your icon, a killjoy! instead look on the brite side, need not the rantings of a mind other than yours to demoralize you about what the future misgivings of your world might be. Where is the leader ship be in you to say not what he says, but what you say? It doesn't have to be bleak, only if in your mind , if that is what you seek!
What you favorably want for the world, will be, if you project it out mentally!
What can be a good time instead of pessimistic one, is up to you , you see!
Try giving good positive thoughts and wishes for our future and stand back and see, happiness for the world. No need to run and hide outside from ourselves, love our selves here and stay out of love, not fear of the enemy within, for the enemy with in is too, just an illusion!

Just as it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end, rest in peace you're worrying heart, the purpose of life ,cannot be obstaculated by our peoples fear of a future, which we our selves randomly forge collectively!
Better to be inwardly focused and relegate worrying to things that you do have some modicum of control over : take, for example :
One day at a time, and make conscious effort to lead a good life, do onto others as you would have them do onto you!
Take time, not when you're old and grey, but now, to stop and smell the roses, and walk barefoot in the grass and have a nice day, the way you did as a baby. You can remember back, back to those care free days, when you were not beside your self with worries of the so called grown ups, and the goal of the day was not thinking about running away from earth to the stars, to escape ourselves bad side, but was about candy. You remember candy don't you? When was the last time you had some candy?
Remember, having a clear free headed mind, focused on living life now, knowing it is to enjoyed and the next goal of the day was to have fun, and the next goal of the day, was to have even more fun, make friends who wanted what you wanted, which was to play and enjoy in the moment of bliss of life, and especially the now!
Negativity begets negativity, joy begets joy, your life is what you think! Think positively !


Opinions cheerfully expressed, whether in consensus or in disagreement, help understanding and collaboration with one another! Peace Be with you .

Hi weavers

If you don't plan for worst case scenarios, one of them will bit you in the ass sooner or later. History is littered with examples of unprepared humans dying by the thousands. One of the best ways of insuring humans don't go extinct is not to have all our eggs in one basket. But in our efforts to find other worlds let us not forget to take care of this one, for now and into the foreseeable future this world is the only basket we have.

In any event welcome to this forum and remember not all opinions are meant to be cheerfully expressed, but if you aren't having fun, then somethings wrong. :D

Let me think about this for a few seconds. There's solar and wind energy to make things work which we could still make if we prepare for the worse case. Then there's geothermal and flowing water which steam could also be made from. Humans would be living in one place for the most part because few would have transportation to travel great distances except sailing boats. If humans were living in just one place then everything could be worked out that helps everyone help each other by letting people be assigned things that they could do for the entire community. Some could raise vegetables others could be gathering and distilling water. Then others could be using bicycles to deliver the daily rations around to those who can't get out and retrieve their supplies. So you see things could be thought out and worked out if there was no oil of gas, it just takes time to figure exactly what must be done with the resources that remain available.:)

I'm not saying that won't happen. A lot depends on how well government and police services remain intact. In the U.S. I'm sure the gangs won't be setting around twiddling their thumbs and many other hungry people with guns won't stay hungry any longer than they have to. Life without will both be boring and fearful and doing many things you would rather not be doing. On a larger scale I'm sure there will be war happening in many places around the world.
