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.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

Love the inclusion of the graph!

This isn't a sign of collapse per se, but god do I feel separate from the people around me. How can it all be business as usual? How come no one's paying attention? It's unnerving.

And even trying to talk about it isn't quite taboo, it's more like fatigue. They can't handle thinking about so they just go about business as usual.
