The Next Ten Billion Years

I was very pleased the other day to field a request from an audio podcaster to record my essay "The Next Ten Billion Years" for their YouTube channel. That was one of the most popular (and, let's be fair, most controversial) pieces from my former blog, The Archdruid Report; it's also perhaps the clearest exploration of the philosophy and cosmology undergirding my writing that I've yet managed. It was written in response to a piece from peak oil blogger and reliably interesting thinker Ugo Bardi, which you can read here; my essay can be read here, and the audio version -- which has just been released -- can be taken in here. Enjoy!
