What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Collapse? I just published a long piece proposing that collapse will pass thru 4 waves: environmental, economic, political, and population descent. We're at the start of the 2nd wave. Friend link: https://medium.com/@sjgenco/what-are-we-talking-about-when-we-talk-about-collapse-94f4e617e2e0?sk=b17ac39747718ceca1cb9c96342d3d35

Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? by Bill McKibben, 2019

We’re at a bleak moment in human history -- and we’ll either confront that bleakness or watch the civilization our forebears built slip away.

Falter is a powerful and sobering call to arms, to save not only our planet but also our humanity.

@bookstodon





Thirty years ago Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about climate change. Now he broadens the warning: the entire human game, he suggests, has begun to play itself out. Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book The End of Nature -- issued in dozens of languages and long regarded as a classic -- was the first book to alert us to global warming. But the danger is broader than that: even as climate change shrinks the space where our civilization can exist, new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics threaten to bleach away the variety of human experience. Falter tells the story of these converging trends and of the ideological fervor that keeps us from bringing them under control. And then, drawing on McKibben’s experience in building 350.org, the first truly global citizens movement to combat climate change, it offers some possible ways out of the trap. Review “[An] unsettling look at the prospects for human survival. . . . Readers open to inconvenient and sobering truths will find much to digest in McKibben’s eloquently unsparing treatise.” ―Publishers Weekly “A compelling call for change.” ―Kirkus Reviews “A love letter, a plea, a eulogy, and a prayer. This is Bill McKibben at his glorious best. Wise and warning, with everything on the line. Do not miss it.”―Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine

    Tonight we're looking at Fallout 76 - Yes, the show led me to take another look

    It has been five years since last I played. It was a mess then, so let's go and see: Has it improved?

    Gonna be going live in a hot minute doing some more Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. If this is a game you've been interested in but too intimidated to give it a go, come hang out. I love answering questions about it!
