That book put me in a really bad place for more than a year. It was so depressing, i just couldnt shake the inevitablity of it all.

The fascist take over of the US has been a quaint distraction, but in the end it also means nothing compared to the collapse of the food chain. You cant eat dollars.

Yeah, the dissonance of day to day stresses and societal issues with mass extinction is hard to deal with. I’m currently putting together a pile of a few books that claim to have pragmatic but optimistic/hopeful views of where we go from here.

    Any good suggestions so far? The best I read was Not The End of The World by Hannah Ritchie from Our World in Data.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Two I’ve already read that I thought were decent were Bill Gate’s “How to avoid a climate disaster” and Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry for the Future”. I have Drawdown next on my list.
