There are #LimitsToGrowth in every finite system. So what will the future bring while the superrich hide in their bunkers (even they are unsure how, as Douglas Rushkoff describes in his book)? A..<br/><br/>a) societal collapse and we go extinct<br/>b) societal collapse and we go back to pre-industrial middle ages<br/>c) societal collapse and we create a sustainable post-capitalist economy<br/><br/>I don&#39;t know. What do you think? Can we avoid a collapse of a society which is based on exponential growth and exploitation of fossil fuels or is a collapse inevitable?<br/><a href="https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=how-everything-can-collapse-a-manual-for-our-times--9781509541386">https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=how-everything-can-collapse-a-manual-for-our-times--9781509541386</a> 2026-03-15T22:42:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvagr30pemm5urnjxa6a3mmhf7c66ua66ccmjcrypqdl3kusn3jzgzyqr9859qykylg4kw4myqw2m2w5f22y83lsxx4xe50zwnndsu70xh6f8gdre #TRex Tristan at the museum of natural history in #Berlin for #FossilFriday.

The primary cause is as anthropologist Jason Hickel argues in his book that #capitalism demands perpetual expansion, which is wreaking havoc on the natural, living world<br/><a href="https://www.jasonhickel.org/less-is-more">https://www.jasonhickel.org/less-is-more</a> 2025-01-01T21:22:22Z
