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?
Society is always collapsing and growing at the same time. Lots of people lived normal lives during the collapse of the Roman Empire.
But we’ve had such a boom since industrialization, and we will eventually run out of oil. So we will either have a radical transformation away from oil or supply lines will collapse. It might actually become hard to feed people in many cities.
And if the climate collapses then we don’t even know how bad it can get.
I take it seriously but I don’t know what to do about it. I actually think the solution is more technology. We basically find ourselves in a situation where we have to invent our way out.
