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.

Are you morally obligated or are you ethically obligated? Or is it both?

Ethics refer to a set of rules provided by an external source. I think this is 100% a moral obligation to blow shit up.

I would say ethics doesn't really make sense unless there is some sort of rulebook calling for this that I'm not aware of. Because I'd say moral-but-not-ethical is doing what's right even if it's against the rules/expectations that apply to you (particularly in a professional capacity, and even then there are different contexts like company policy vs wider ethics).
