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.

His comment on children makes me so glad I dodged that bullet. If I was born even a few years earlier or if I had gotten financially stable sooner with a different major and less school. I might have had them. Luckily it was not financially possible until I realized it was not something I wanted to do (and luckily my wife is of like mind).

Somehow this article managed to make me more depressed even when I'm already officially depressed. At this point, I have to be ignorant to be happy. Still, great article. Packed with information and some sources.

Okdoomer is great. I’m really surprised at the amount of content they can shit out.

Good thing the world population is about to drop without all this doom and gloom. E.g. China and their one child policy

Fuck me. A terribly important read.
