Dear friends;
What's your take on the response and which is apparent when talking with folks that their seemingly evident reality is deteriorating,
while at the same moment their is no definable time or space that can be seen as the jumping off point.
And then finding themselves sitting in that undefined puddle and some response expected, they may fall back to: It's the nations politics or from the more flip or at least in my opinion 'People lack Christian values' or some such vague melding of politics and again belief.
And then with a vague reference to cycles, they may continue with: We will just have to wait and see.
Oh yes, their are distinct response variations, such as: I don't want to know as i cant do anything in response. And this is one of the more honest though acknowledged powerless positions. It becomes a..... general response, as the person just shuts down to... pleasure without pain.
Another favorite and which is not really ever voiced completely involves the 'childern'. If i don't look it may just go away, and besides looking involves looking at my own fear and I'm just holding on as it is!
Allot of prayer and rules usually clusters with this one, as it need constant reinforcement.
My own position and i do state it frequently that this is NOT just collapse of the current macro empire or even system.
System meaning: Economics, and which seems is a characteristic of someones once brilliant fantasy projection.
For many people we are entering collapse of society induced by population, energy factors and climate change. The rest may be described as secondary.
Also. we may want to consider their are no classic Vandals at the gates, and waiting with cargo trucks to haul the booty back home. As the Vandals though apparent may have even less of a future than the former: Residents of the Horn of Plenty.
And it seems we are just know touching the edge of this somewhat undefinable feed back loop induced chaos state.
As D. Orlov recently stated: The peak oil bell curve, is a..... graphic..... myth.
As yes, It was apparently a smooth classic assent until 2005 and then the production plateau and which we are now leaving. The decline and response will be very unpleasant, choppy and even undefinable until it has been experienced.
Alan Weisman's book: A World Without Us, may be one of the better descriptive essay's regarding our species demise. Though he describes the earth going on and supporting other life forms. Meaning once we leave.... the other species destruction ends and the healing begins. And though the song birds and the snakes will hardly miss us if this is the way it will go.
I think the surface cleansing by the earth will not be that selective as vengeance is not involved. Just earth stability and the balance of the earths elements.
What i am wondering, Is our species incapable of recognising and responding to it's own annihilation?
Though extinction maybe the better choice to describe our limited future and based on our dream like narrow awareness.
And the reason i raise this issue is their are numerous discussions, books, sites and response proposals by the involved people who we
can name. But the numbers involved are few who take it to the point that the current responses offered will not be effective.
Usually what happens in a major crisis of any sort the general public begins to respond and this may even be counter productive or misguided but even conscious turning away from a crisis is a statement of some sort.
The vacuum created by the lack of general discussion or emotional involvement is what i find disturbing. This is where the self defined demigods step forward to give people 'direction' while collecting power and money.
At times what i am hearing from people is: I'm waiting for...................blank, or then it drifts into certified delusional with Apocalypse or someones calender projections.
As i recall the Jews just wore the second coming to a frazzle and that's until someone else decided they could package the idea and start a new religion.
And of course offering much more than a chosen people concept waiting to meet YAHWEH on his return circuit through the cosmic ether.
And besides with regards to the 'new improved' sky god spin off:
What's better than having a luxury suburban skin color and sex preference Club Med, and Dang, just out of reach behind the clouds? But sure to be delivered if we will just say: Hey, count me in, or some such simple pledge of allegiance, of course while eating flesh and drinking blood and ogling the naked guy on the stick being tortured.
It's a very old plot but it seems still fills the theaters.
