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 isn’t a pile-up of isolated crises. This is a metacrisis — a systemic failure driven by the logic that underpins our civilization. It’s not just that our tools are malfunctioning — it’s that our operating system is obsolete.

I wish the collapse community were collectively a billionaire so we would get the airtime these dipshits do. We were decades ahead of these idiots when the range of adaptations were better and more numerous and the severity of consequences less dire.

By the time Ray Dalio says something publically, you could ask any shlub off the street first. My favourite Dalio truism is:

Ray Dalio sticks his hand out the window in a hurricane and says "it's raining".
