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.

Its a common miconception about good faith actors . we havent started to accexot the science in all of this, let alone agree to solutions like Degrowth. You just have to look to the political dwoxurse for evidence.of that.

Plan for the worst and hooe for the best is aboit all we have

Plans imply action. We have already failed the hope for the best part long before we were born. I don’t see any plans being made, other then the Uber rich going to mars and taking a cadre of slaves with them. I don’t know an answer that doesn’t involve tyranny, but hoping that humans change their nature by some miracle as the author suggests is as foolish as it is dangerous.
