20 years ago was the time for Nations and MegaCorps to agree on a ‘managed decline’ strategy.

But they could not even agree on that, so now we get the chaos timeline.

…the World 3 model is holding up great.

We are right now at the peak of industrial output, going by the latest refactoring of it.

Everything gets worse from here on out, quality of life, food production/prices climate instability, climate migrants, authoritarianism, prejudice and bigotry, fundamentalism and conspiricism…

… and that’s optimistic, assuming some flash point doesn’t spark WW3 or a thermonuclear obliteration.

On the bright side, maybe in 100 years the flowers will bloom beautifully where the Thwaites Glacier once was.

It would seem no organized movement has come forward.

Yet. Enough people haven’t felt the weight of the looming disaster. Too many still think their relative privilege will spare them, because when has it failed them before?

I believe it will happen, but whether it happens in our lifetimes remains to be seen, and whether it happens on purpose is unknown. At least part of that will be decided by the groundwork we lay today, and the more the existing institutions fail people, the more likely they can be persuaded to a better cause.

No global powers oppose the eating of the Earth.

They caused it, and they benefit from it. Why would they oppose it? Even if they think something should be done, they are more blinded by their extreme privilege than the rest of us.

Like you say, I think humans will go back to smaller tribes and local government, though I hope we can lay the groundwork for them to be less warring and insular and instead, more cooperative.
