Greetings. I am just back a couple hours ago from the movie Oppenheimer.

So I maybe shouldn't record this episode now, or maybe I should.

It's a great, great movie. I saw it in one of those real theaters with the surround sound.

Pretty impactful message and relevant to our world today.

Okay, this is part three in a four-part series on Just Stop Oil.

Today I'm going to talk about the 10 pathways to post growth or using less fossil fuels,

less emissions, because I think they're largely synonymous.

Again, this episode is going to be describing our situation. In part four, I'll advocate or at least suggest some pathways for us who are aware and care about these things.

First of all, some admin.

This will come out Friday morning at 7 central.

48 hours from now, I highly recommend that everyone watch reality roundtable number

three, which is one of our best reality roundtables ever.

Of course, there's only three with John Erickson, Josh Farley, Kate Rayworth, and Steve Keane talking about what the 240 million

college students in the world are learning in their Econ 101 class that is divorced from

the reality we face.

I highly recommend people watch it.

Okay, getting to this episode, I'm going to talk about the economy and missions and post-growth. But let me just first state that there are four general scenarios of the future.

You could do a two-by-two grid, and the top two would be growth

of some sort. Green growth, which is we're rich enough as a culture, as a nation, as a world,

to pay for the environmental damages that we're creating.

Or brown growth, which is we continue to grow and pollute.

Underneath, on the bottom axis, is not growth, but descent, whereas we hit a peak and have post-growth economy.
