Thanks Alex - super clear summary! Loved the book and recommended to a few people.

As part of my research into critical thinking tools, I have made a "steelman" of your main claims and mapped them out: https://atlas.mindmup.com/tomwalczak/alex_epstein_the_irrefutable_case_for_/index.html

If you have a minute to skim through and see if I got it right, that would be awesome ;)

I think you did a great job! Can I share this publicly? I may have one or two suggestions re: the linking terms.

Thanks, Alex! Yes, of course, that would be great. Drop me a line: thomas (at) eventignite.co.uk and I will make the edits.

Tom, just found you amazing "mindmup", for which I thank you!

I look forward to seeing this amazing resource being broadly publicized by Alex.

Thanks, Luca

Love your work.

Comparing two things requires they be judged on the same basic metrics. Clearly solar and wind would not qualify or be in the same category/race as hydrocarbons.

To say we have an alternative plan requires necessarily the plans are on the same footing.

It’s a one legged man [solar & wind] versus a marathon runner [hydrocarbons].

Or like my old uncle used to say, “like a one legged man in a butt kicking contest”!

Hi Alex, I really like this article. I share it all the time. However, if I try to share using the blue "Share" button, it provides a link to a different article - pro human policy
