thegreatstory | Collapse 101: The Inevitable Fruit of Progress (Dowd) @thegreatstory | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 14 minutes ago.
This stand-alone 75-min video is the first in a visually rich 3-part "Post-doom (Collapse & Adaptation) Primer": youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcAlqMeyeaW9IM0ePw8i9v8TP9yeZGeEo This first video, “COLLAPSE 101: THE INEVITABLE FRUIT OF PROGRESS” is a distillation of decades of scientific and historical research into cosmic, biological, and human evolution, highlighting the key differences between pro-future (sustainable) cultures and anti-future (unsustainable) civilizations. Special attention is given to (A) the evidence regarding the rise and fall (boom and bust) of unsustainable civilizations, (B) what is inevitable, what is futile, and what is nourishing and meaningful given our predicament, and (C) why human-centered notions of “progress and development” have always (with no exceptions) resulted in societal and technological simplification (i.e., collapse).
