Wow. Amazing article.
Our Mastodon friend Steve Genco (@sjgenco) has just published a long piece about the now inevitable collapse of modern civilization — what we might expect to happen, how to recognize the stages of collapse, and what to do to survive each of them.
______________________________
Whatever world we find ourselves in during and after collapse, we will aspire to be among its survivors. As individuals, we may not be able to save modern civilization as a whole from its self-inflicted death spiral, but each of us will want to save ourselves and those we love, especially our children and grandchildren, who did not ask to be born into this damaged world we have created for them. So each of us will inevitably ask:
How can I best navigate the next several decades of uncertainty, crisis, and collapse in order to maximize my own and my family’s chances of survival?
During each wave of the civilization collapse we are facing, we will have choices at our disposal to make the next wave more or less tolerable, if not avoidable altogether. We could choose to end environmentally-damaging practices, or not. We could choose to end over-consumption in the Global North, or not. We could choose to tackle inequality, or not. We could choose to act collectively and collaboratively, or not. These are all choices open to us.

What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Collapse?
When it comes to writing about climate change … or energy transition … or resource depletion … the new “it” word seems to be COLLAPSE. Collapse is everywhere. But collapse is an inherently fuzzy…Steve Genco (Medium)
