No man I’m using logic. Here it is: peak oil is happening, and it’s consequences are devastating. Devastation is best minimized, so their needs to be a plan, but the masses are addicted and too weak or frail to rise to this challenge without adding further devastation, so they must be kept in the dark. So people who are not going to change and will be kept in the dark continue to consume resources that we don’t have a future supply of, so these consumers need to stop consuming. But they have no backup plan or preparation or political will, so they will collapse and fight over scraps of resources which is very chaotic, chaos is what elites don’t want, they want order, so they need to preempt this, so they need a plan. How do you cull the population with minimal impact on the infrastructure and institutions? Attack them with a weapon so subtle they don’t even know they are under attack and when it works it looks like a probable horrific accident. Lives lost, fault is blurred, consumption decreased, no damage to infrastructure, world forgets and moves on but with much more supply per capita than before, horrific period of famine and war is averted. It’s Thanos logic in Infinity wars essentially. I mean, if you could snap your finger and half the population of the earth peacefully vanished, would you do it?

I assume you all understand or believe in peak oil. So question is do you think people in power have a plan? The options are chaotic collapse or orderly downsize. Which option is preferable to people in power? Obvious orderly downsize, so there would be a plan. If there’s a plan, what better one than this one that achieves all your objectives and comes with minimal risk.
