I’ve been following the conversation and science about the collapse, and it seems to me like there are more and more people in unrelated communities that seem to be accepting the fact that the way we currently live is unsustainable and will lead to an eventual collapse. I feel like even a couple of months ago, if anyone posted a comment here on Lemmy that mentioned collapse, they’d be laughed out of the room. Now, however, I am constantly seeing comments alluding to it. So what are your thoughts? Are more people starting to take it more seriously?
Oh I definitely don’t think people are taking it seriously yet, and totally agree with you that the climate change headlines are getting harder to ignore even for someone who knows nothing about what is happening with the planet. I hope that people will wake up sooner rather than later, but I don’t actually think it’ll happen until it is way too late.
I’m also thinking about the North magnetic pole shifting faster each year, and hoping it doesn’t signal a reversal, although it is a startling coincidence that at the same time it looks like the inner core of the Earth is slowing down, stopped or reversing.
The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas. If you’re interested in global collapses or resets, this book reads in large part like a scientific treatise on recurrent global events that we haven’t lived through yet.
It’s not definitive or properly sourced of course, but it’s an interesting read.
