Cassandra warned the Trojans that taking the Trojan Horse into the city would turn out badly, but was not believed. She was loved by Apollo and given the gift of prophecy, but when she refused his love he condemned her to the fate of always being right but never being believed. Salome danced before King Herod who promised to give her whatever she wished; she asked for the head of John the Baptist, and got it on a plate (Mark, 6:21–29). For Moses, see Exodus 4:10; Isaiah 6:5–6; Ezekiel 3:26; Jonah: Jeremiah 1. Psalms 39:10 (“I held my tongue”). For Catholic liturgy, see Catherine Pickstock, “An Inquiry into Liturgical Syntax”, Faith and Worship, 43, 1997, pp 14–21; and Pickstock (1997), After Writing, chapter 4.

David Fleming
Dr David Fleming (2 January 1940 – 29 November 2010) was a cultural historian and economist, based in London, England. He was among the first to reveal the possibility of peak oil's approach and invented the influential TEQs scheme, designed to address this and climate change. He was also a pioneer of post-growth economics, and a significant figure in the development of the UK Green Party, the Transition Towns movement and the New Economics Foundation, as well as a Chairman of the Soil Association. His wide-ranging independent analysis culminated in two critically acclaimed books, 'Lean Logic' and 'Surviving the Future', published posthumously in 2016. These in turn inspired the 2020 launches of both BAFTA-winning director Peter Armstrong's feature film about Fleming's perspective and legacy - 'The Sequel: What Will Follow Our Troubled Civilisation?' - and Sterling College's unique 'Surviving the Future: Conversations for Our Time' online courses.
