Bloggers I have time for

Inspired partly by Peak Oil, partly by global warming, partly by inspiration itself, I've discovered the following writers who I enjoy reading. (Will write a thumbnail sketch on each when time permits).

Dave Pollard: I am putting Dave at the top of my list. His mission is only to save the world (from Canada). The Edward de Bono of doomers.

Neale Donald Walsch: of all writers on spirituality I've read, I resonate the most with Neale. I'm not saying that I go along with everything he writes (mainly accessed via his Conversations with God (CSW) books, but he comes the closest to expressing what I agree with, and in a much better literary style than I would be capable of.


Ran Prieur: Ran is, quite simply, a very interesting guy. He seems to think the way that I do (or vice-versa) and he does what I'd do if I could. He has written a number of essays about his take on most of the topics I share an interest in.

Glen Allport: Glen is a prolific writer of essays looking at the human condition mainly.

Stefan Molyneux: Stefan is someone everyone ought to know. He runs Freedomain Radio via podcasts. He'll energize you, and have you beating your own head at the same time. Leans rather heavily on logic as a tool, but that makes up for the masses who don't use it at all.

James Howard Kunstler: James is a great read. He comments on peak oil and economic issues with a rapier wit. Jim comes from an architectural perspective. Has written a few fantastic books and been involved in the Suburbia documentaries.
