This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I definitely agree that this is still abstract for a lot of people right now. Humans have an incredible capacity for ignoring developing problem until they become personally affected by them. Unfortunately, in case of climate change, it's going to be too late to do anything at that point. Creating networks of like minded people to support each other is definitely a smart approach.

I know, it's absurd.

Tragic, really. I'm still going to try to work with what I've got, though. I wish you luck in the times ahead, friend.
