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.

Ouch. I read this and followed links to read numerous other posts of his. Seems spot-on in his analysis and entirely parallels what I think and feel about our world. I'm struggling to avoid sheer terror in addition to the already present crippling anxiety and burnout. The only comfort, much of the time, is that none of us are truly or purely alone in all of this. The catastrophe surrounds everyone we know, regardless of whether their personal circumstances have yet broken down to a degree that allows them to witness it consciously.
