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.

I hope after they digest this for a bit, they spin it around to microplastics in the brain causing wokeness, or something. That way, maybe we'll all start working toward the same goal, even if just incidentally...

We are all collectively living in a body horror movie.

This feels like an article I can't share with anyone. The implications are just too horrifying.
