Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale

And, we should be very grateful to those who keep us informed about what is happening. Instead of these denegrading comments here. We would still be sound asleep if it were not for those courageous voices! Those "alarmists"! Their work of warning is not done. The process of collapse is ongoing!

I agree with @jacklowe.bsky.social comment. Not only can doomers be doers, but as Paul Chefurka wrote out in his "Ladder of Awareness" piece: Most people who develop collapse awareness, choose an outer path/active path or a combination of both. It is so popular to dump on doomers. It's hurtful!

Oh gosh... 🙄 I breached my personal "time spent online" boundary again. Better go spend some time out there, instead of on here. 🌻 Will be back another day. (Bluesky seems to have stuck the right balance, so far.🤞 An edit option would be nice though.) Stay safe. Stay curious. 💚

Next year, I'm looking forward to: 1. Learning how to "make and mend" more useful things. - basket weaving - soap making - fermenting foods 2. Joining or starting a "nurturing community" project. - collapse cafe? - collapse choir? - collapse comedy? Searching for inspiring examples.

Has global warming accelerated in recent decades? If we look at the rate of warming between 1970 and 2008 and extend it through present, we see that almost all years since 2015 are above the previous trend.

I don't think I can say this enough: the environmental movement has lost its way. Environmentalism is not about sustainability and finding substitutes for fossil fuels in solar, wind, etc. Environmentalism is about saving as much of the planet as possible, about preserving our beautiful home.

Over the past two decades, I've done a lot of the "inter path" work to process my growing collapse-awareness. Steadily climbing Paul Chefurka's "Ladder of Awareness". I think I've reached the point of collapse acceptance now. Hope-free! A blessing and a curse? #TalkCollapse

I'm so dreading the gatherings at this time of year. Can't discuss IRL what is on my mind. As soon as I mention climate (not even collapse), the conversation either shuts down, or is quickly redirected to something more "cheerful". Decline invitations = social isolation. What to do? #TalkCollapse

The Maximum Entropy Principle says systems evolve to maximise entropy production within their constraints. Civilisations are no exception - they channel energy to maintain order (cities, economies) while driving massive energy dissipation (fossil fuels, deforestation). 1/3 #overshoot #collapse

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

How Everything Can Collapse: Excerpt
Despite the quality of some reflec­tions on this topic, the debate on collapse (or 'the end  of a world') fails because of the absence of factual arguments.
