Crisis of Confidence
Be it be peak oil, climate change, cigarettes, coal, the state of the economy or the latest toothpaste, we are constantly being lied to.
I can imagine the offices of Wall Street ringing with the song “Happy Days Are Here Again”. Sometimes, the most dangerous lies are the lies we tell ourselves.

Welcome to the new Resillience commenting system!
We have moved from the former Disqus commenting system to a new system as of September 10, 2026.
We made this change because of privacy concerns regarding Disqus. It's also part of a set of changes to bring more services to the Resilience community under a single login: commenting, (coming September 2026), and online courses (coming 2027). Unfortunately, your old Disqus comments may not reliably link to your account in this new system. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
