"Our national mythology makes it impossible for most Americans to
conceive of a future of accelerating contraction and impoverishment, and
so any excuse to believe that happy days are here again will attract an
instant and uncritical audience. Consider the extraordinary fog of
misinformation surrounding the current fracking bubble—the increasingly
loud and frantic claims that the modest temporary gains in oil
production driven by the fracking phenomenon guarantee a future of
abundant energy and prosperity for all. It’s the same twaddle about a
new era with limitless upside potential, but it’s even more popular than
usual, because the alternative is facing the future that’s taking shape
around us ... If you’ve learned to recognize the shape of a common sequence of events, and you see the first stages of that sequence get under way, you can predict the outcome of the sequence, and be right far more often than not."
