I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

Sommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. Unfassbar. 🤯🤯🤯 Das meiste Geld landet dann wieder bei den Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.

This is a fascinating conversation about recent discoveries in archaeology about autocracy. The research contradicts a lot of common beliefs, including that farming and large populations lead to autocracy. knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...
knowablemagazine.org
What archaeology reveals about the rise of all-powerful rulers
Autocracy wasn’t inevitable in early civilizations — many were more egalitarian. But when riches were there to monopolize, strongmen and inequalities emerged.

“Instead of thinking about Al itself, we should be thinking about its effects. It concentrates power; it obfuscates accountability; it further despoils nature and climate; it is a means of the wholesale expropriation of cultures, languages and lands for massive profit; and it will probably make us lonelier and stupider.”
