News and views on the coming collapse
This Contemplation is the result of my beginning to put together a different one that’s focussing upon an academic article I’ve been reading (Collapse, Environment, and Society) but that got me thinking about the academic ‘debate’ regarding what ‘societal collapse’ is, how it may–or may not–unfold for our current experiment in large, complex societies, and how things are perceived in the moment by those experiencing societal change. The ‘debate’ (centred more-or-less on the question: Do societies actually ‘collapse’ or are they ‘merely’ shifting/transforming/adapting to changing conditions?) is rather ‘academic’ in that in the grand scheme of things it’s intellectually interesting but doesn’t have much to do with the on-the-ground, real-life experiences and concerns of most humans in a society–especially if they are experiencing some of the more ‘problematic’ consequences of collapse/transformation.
When people reflect on how their actions shape the future, they are more likely to support solutions to present-day issues like poverty and inequality.
Olivier Hamant, chercheur en biologie et en biophysique, est invité chez Thinkerview. Cela donne l'interview la plus inspirante de la chaîne selon moi. Il y présente le concept de robustesse, l'outil qui permet de faire face à un monde fluctuant. Il répond toujours avec justesse et beaucoup d'humilité, quel plaisir d'avoir un intervenant de ce niveau. Je vous invite vraiment à regarder l'interview en entier, c'est une masterclass.

The network of Atlantic ocean currents keeping the Earth's climate stable are far closer to collapse than first estimated, scientists warn.

Arctic Sea ice reaches it's minimum extent each year around the middle of September. This year is one of the lowest in recorded history. Ocean temperatures have been so 'off the charts' in 2023 and 2024 that scientists fear those waters have reached their capacity to mop up after us humans and are now starting to release that energy. On our current trajectory, by 2100, our planet will reach a temperature not seen for 3 MILLION years!. So...what's the plan???
Rarement un homme comme Charles Gave aura été capable d'enchainer autant de mensonges en 30mn comme il l'a fait sur Thinkerview.
