The not so nice thing is that we are walking straight into it – into the collapse of civilisation. Because our systems are so incapable of changing course.
We have already passed quite a few ecological tipping points. And from here, things could unravel very quickly.
Some people say that we should not feel sad about the collapse of civilisation. They say we deserved it. That the writing has been on the wall for quite some time.
I feel like it is not people. Most people are thoroughly decent human beings. I think it is our systems that are so inflexible, and unfair.
I also think that many humans are amazing creatures, and that it is one hell of an experience to have the opportunity to live a lifetime as a human being.
It is frightening to think about what is to come. And when the darkness covers the world in night again, my mind and my reading comes back to this probable outcome. It is not going to be pretty!
