Did @WoodyHarrelson Help Save the World, or Did #PeakOil 'Destroy the Economy' like #Ethos (A Time for Change) Said it Would? | @MIT @Wikipedia
I watched ETHOS: A TIME FOR CHANGE--one of many available 'ways that politics & economy & media etc. are dooming the world to the apocalyptic destiny'-films Amazon Prime offers--and I didn't notice 'the date' (neither of its filming or its distribution/broadcast) until Harrelson mentioned that "peak oil is predicted for 2015, when prices on gas & food etc will go crazy" (okay, maybe he didn't say 'when prices will go crazy'; but he said something about costs of stuff ... I guess I was just flabbergasted---sort of the feeling we get when we read that 'there might be an pandemic coming soon' (when you remember "hey! aren't we 'in the middle of that pandemic right now?'"😒)
I don't even remember what "peak oil" is (I hope some commenters explain, if I don't handle it below 'the subscribe-bar'). What I wanna discuss first is "Ethos"--the name of the movie--which is something-like "feeling (rather than 'knowing') that you are right."
What I show here is 'the group of words' that give "that word" (hyperlinked to an offer on the streaming-service that'll deliver that movie and many-many others) a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Ethos” (a concept from Aristotle's works, including "Rhetoric" II xii-xiv) is built on ancient words that are the |Third-Person |Pronoun & |Reflexive (root of words meaning "Society's |Habitual |Character & |Disposition, |Moral Character, |Custom, |Manners ... see |Idiom)
"Peak oil" is the moment when the price of oil-extraction exceeds the price consumers will pay.

| A 1956 world oil production distribution, showing historical data and future production, proposed by M. King Hubbert – it had a peak of 12.5 billion barrels per year in about the year 2000. As of 2016, the world's oil production was 29.4 billion barrels per year (80.6 Mbbl/day),[1] with an oil glut between 2014 and 2018. |
Either the "2015- or 2019"-prediction was instrumental in avoiding it, or I just haven't heard about it because advertisers don't sponsor that kind of news ...

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
