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.

Degrowth can't "work" , it can prolong the shit show though and theres something to be said for that, ask any Cancer patient.

Zero chance of occuring though, so while discussion on the nuance are intellectually interesting they hold no promise aside from hope for some of a better world..

Most people dont even grok it means a better life for more, they wrongly assume they're not in the more I guess ?

Perhaps after cicikisations collpase ? but I'd expect that we'll leave a childishly irradiated world.
