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.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort, high volume and low relevance posts.

While this article is not tied to collpase per se, this excert.from Peggy is on point.

Mods can delete it if they think its too far off topic but we're not exacrly swamped with posts jere.

Climate change is going to cull us as a species. There won’t be any big bands and we won’t have any producers of guitar strings, so we’re going to have to rely on our own voices and make instruments out of whatever we can find. But we’ll always need music that expresses the hopes and dreams of the community.

watch. in a few years, when they finally realize how their policies have ABSOLUTELY FUCKED HUMANITY, conservatives will get upset and start shooting scientists for not doing something about it. I fucking guarantee they're going to blame the nerds who warned them for decades.

This article is collapse on topic. Collapse can not just about be temperature and CO2 readings.

Collapse is also the society, the sociology, and living post collapse. She talks about having not the way to produce simple guitar strings and having not the way to have big groups of people playing music together and that is very scary future.
