Can collapse be avoided?
-
What to do in the face of collapse?

Summary

Appendix: Bonus content and links [you are here]

Bonus content:

- Revolution Or Death: The Great Bifurcation: a post on the dilemma we face, do we aim for the skies or face the music?
- Problems, Predicaments, And You: a post on the difference between problems and predicaments — and why collapse is the latter and not a set of the former.
- Do We Need Nature?: a post on whether we could sacrifice nature to save our technological progress, and what’s needed to get there.
- Human Life, Modern Civilization, Nature. Choose One: a post on what I view as our three possible, but mutually exclusive, paths. None of them good.
- Hope Over Despair: a post on why I think we should choose hope despite the overwhelming evidence of the calamities facing us.
- The Bubble Is Real: a post on getting “stuck” in the collapse echo-chamber (it is, let’s be real — doesn’t mean it’s wrong, doesn’t mean it’s right either).

Other resources:

Collapse Subreddit: Echo-chamber of despair or grim realism, a bit of everything. Fridays are casual, so expect less serious posts. Contains discussion around coping, preparation, predictions, collapse-related news, and much more.
- Breaking down; Collapse: Excellent podcast breaking down collapse in all its facets. The first 8 episodes outline the main predicament we’re facing. Note: link is to their Patreon account, while the podcast can be found in most podcast apps.
