Collapse

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.

this is a well written article, worth the time to read imo.

if anyone reading this has even a passing interest in Graeber, debt theory, and the effects of wealth distribution on societies, I highly recommend Gary Stevenson.

Gary came from a working class family and essentially got rich betting on collapse and inequality getting worse. now he spends his entire waking life fighting inequality and advocating for increase taxes on the ultra rich.
