The NY Times had an article last week on the pervasive spread of eco-anxiety- the dread of the future and the doom no one can change the course of it … ironically they later had a guest opinion piece about ‘peak humanity’ driven only by reproduction rates of less than 2.1 per mating couple. The peak based on that was also between 2050-2080, at which point global populations begin and exponential crash as well. And if you want to add to your gloom a side of nuclear apocalypse, read ‘There is nowhere to hide’ from thebulletin.org …
We are already seeing population declines in various countries. We are seeing population collapse in many species worldwide. You don’t need to wait for methane releases or burning the last drop of petroleum… it is here.
The constructive thing to do is figure out what world do you want to live in … one where the abandoned houses and office buildings lay as tombstones to an opulent past of plentiful labor and an ever growing standard of living driven by technological advances ..
look around you and soak it all in - this is as good as it gets.
Now comes the hard part.
