Below is an absolutely brilliant video delving into the unfolding collapse, from some courageous professors and researchers from the Antipodes and Germany, who like me, are attempting to face our dystopian future and are trying to engineer as soft a landing as possible!
We’re not going to magically prevent the unfolding collapse of industrial civilisation and the extinction cascades it will trigger but we can prepare mentally and guide our youth accordingly. Plan for the world that’s coming, not some fantasy mumbo-jumbo.
The resounding message, is to make the most of whatever peaceful moments we have and if at all possible, form a tribe and pay forward!
There has never been a more important time in history to be a member of a tribe!
“Just Collapse is an activist platform dedicated to socio-ecological justice in unfolding, irreversible global collapse.
Just Collapse advocates for a Just Collapse and Planned Collapse to avert the worst outcomes that will follow an otherwise unplanned, reactive collapse.
Just Collapse recognises the impossibility of a globally planned collapse, or degrowth, and instead advocates for localised social and ecological justice.
See our Little Book of Insurgent Planning for more examples.”
I have conducted dozens of “Collapse” and extinction interviews on this blog. I’ll drop a few videos below and a few more via hyperlinks after, for anyone who wants too genuinely face our predicament!
The blog post and accompanying hyperlinked show notes, contemporaneous with the above video is embedded following.
“Post Doom” discussion featuring Michael Dowd and Kevin Hester. Navigating the Perfect Storm
Collapse: The Only Realistic Scenario
The excellent video analysis above brought my and Professor Guy McPherson’s attention to Arthur’s work.
We interviewed Arthur on Nature Bats Last: Collapse: The Only Realistic Scenario
I highly recommend Michael Dowd’s analysis of William Catton’s Overshoot
On the March 2020 episode of Nature Bats Last Kevin and Guy were joined by George Tsakraklides. Our discussion included the collapse of industrial civilization and George’s recently published book “Disposable Earth: How and why we gave the earth an expiration date”.
Our interview is embedded following: “Collapse Means Collapse”
Any blog post on collapse has to include the seminal work of Joseph Tainter: The Myth of Human Progress and the Collapse of Complex Societies. Chris Hedges & Joseph Tainter.
“Across Britain, a quiet transformation is happening. It’s not the stereotype of survivalist preppers hoarding beans in bunkers. It’s middle-class professionals – scientists, sustainability experts, teachers, doctors, policy analysts and management consultants who have seen the data and come to a stark conclusion: the systems we rely on for survival are far more fragile than they appear, are deeply flawed and contain within them dynamics that keep us locked in to a dangerous trajectory.”
The above quote from this great article from Rob Harrison-Plastow
Why Well-Off Brits Who Think Collapse Is Coming Still Stay Silent
