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.

Who is The Honest Sorcerer and why should we care what they think?
Because he will cast vile spells at us if we don't heed his words.
Because after reading their opinion piece you can decide whether you like the cut of their jib? Weird criticism. Every pundit starts somewhere.
Is it so weird, really, to worry about this new world where authority counts for nothing, where journalistic ethics have gone out the window, where everyone just finds their own personal pundit who expresses their prejudices better than they can themself? This is going to end badly.
People having opinions and not defaulting to "authority" based logic arguments is the downfall of society big think
This is a bit mangled but I guess you're saying, "I don't just believe authority, I'm an independent thinker". But where did you get your opinions from? Did you do the research yourself - including the hard science that you (or I) know almost nothing about in detail? Of course you didn't. Ultimately you just believed someone. The point of "authority" is it means we're not just believing anyone.

This is why you won’t find political parties and parliamentary elections among hunter gatherers.

Am hunter gatherer, can partially confirm, use a simpler vibe based but still ultimately democratic system. I think you could argue we have political parties though.
