Peak oil
Peak oil happened, a new product replaced common crude.  A different product, has allowed the substitution game to be played.  Fracked Oil is a different product, that is allowing for another turn of the vicious circle.

Doom Philosophy

Commonly doom is considered an emotional state which a person has.  Has like a common cold.  A personal problem unrelated to the outside world.  The Diner takes a different position.  We do not consider doom to be a state of mind.  Doom is a fact.

Without knowing where we have been, how can we know where to go?
