This is the mechanism of collapse, as communities’ ability to recover is overwhelmed by more frequent disasters. “In many places, recovery is no longer a destination. It has become an ongoing and seemingly unending process.” The fraying of community ties is the most significant damage.

In this Solidarity Prepping Group seminar, Matthew says: We adapt to the increasing stress of collapse in a 3-stage cycle: Information Processing, Metabolization Processes, and Wise Action Projects. This is how we transmute “bigger-than-self distress” into “more-than-me enlivenment.”

Death is not a barrier or a negation. It is the natural endpoint of life in the material, temporal world. Awareness of death, be it sooner or later, individual or planetary, can spur us to a better life. ‘Tis a transformation devoutly to be wished! 😁

Haven’t read the book, but this summary interview confirms our model: give up the future, deal with grief, find community, and live for simple daily joys. We tend to think that climate changes will overwhelm our adaptations, ultimately, but this approach will do, for now.

Heroic mutual-aid is hampered by the fear of government cruelty. People won’t open their doors to accept free, warm food. Prosecute ICE! “We know that those are tactics that have been used in other cities and we don’t put it past them to come after a community in the midst of a crisis.”
