![]() I have also become aware of the barriers I had for a few years to avoid addressing this topic with the seriousness it merits. ![]() Photo by lalesh aldarwish on Īs I have been talking with people about this topic over the past few years, I’ve become aware of the barriers accepting near-term societal collapse and therefore barriers to rigorous and creative thinking and discussion about what we might do about it, personally and collectively. Havent a clue about what I am talking about? Then please read my paper on Deep Adaptation. Please note that I am not suggesting we have the whole ten years: we might have less than that. As it is impossible to predict the future within complex systems, “ten years” is not my prediction, and I mention it as a device to help focus this discussion without making people run out the room to stock their bunker. By which I mean that within ten years, in whatever society we are living in, that we will find ourselves in a situation where our normal means of income, sustenance, security, pleasure, identity and purpose all disappear. Because to begin to rigorously and imaginatively discuss this topic first requires us to accept the likelihood of near term societal collapse. The starting point for a generative discussion of the deep adaptation agenda is a difficult one. ![]()
