    Im so glad we are sticking our head in the sand to the most consequential calamity we have ever faced. It’s been nice having a civilization. See yall in 10-15 years when everything goes to complete shit, and society collapses.

      collapse is almost definitely coming. I for one accept it though and believe there’s a low probability of a silver lining outcome for a small number of survivors to build something new after society as we know it comes crashing down.

      post collapse Earth will be irrevocably different from the one we inhabit today, but it won’t be all bad. i suspect not everyone will suffer the same fate from war, famine, or catastrophes. humans inhabit every corner and valley of this immense planet and not every place will be made uninhabitable for everyone, simultaneously.

      those who decouple from capitalism now and work towards a different kind of society, might fare better. it will be challenging, brutal, and at times exhausting for sure. but at least the orphan crushing machine we know today will finally come to a grinding stop.

        Collapse is not going to be all roses for anybody. Not a single person will get away unscathed when this system comes crashing down.
