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.

I did, we weren’t going to have kids but decided to when we were in a financially and emotionally stable enough time in our lives.

We decided to have 1 child with the hopes that he can be a force for good. Maybe he’ll invent a solution to some of these problems. Or help find the cure to some climate borne diseases.

At the very least we’re raising him to be a compassionate human, who can at least offset one of the assholes who are helping ruin the place’s kids. We no nothing is guaranteed, but things are going well 7 years in. 11 more to go (I know it’s really more like 5 before we get tweeted out, and 20 before he can move out, but I can dream).
