Oil Independence devotional

The dependence of contemporary society on petroleum for fuel demonstrates the utter fragility of a mechanistic society.

Oil is a massive alienation of solar energy, whose mining requires vast sums and whose ownership tends towards centralization accordingly.

We slave ourselves to an inherently nihilistic commodity, a self-limiting commodity.

Rather than build a fuel system on a broad observation and engagement with the flows of the living earth, we seek to annihilate all binds to these flows and create a constant maximation of energy as an expression of infinite instrumental will.

Enough of this, it is idiocy. Reverence brings more power than will alienated from Being, and reverent technics brings wider and more varied powers of action than a neurotic technics of domination.
