Umair, while you aren’t wrong in your prognosis, I am more philosophical about the “predicament of the species”. The direction of collapse was determined in the very roots of civilization. It seems to be our affliction to be able to imagine a more benign outcome, but evolutionary psychology and our condition of “Overshoot” disabuse us of such dreams…

Are you still in Falls Church? I am close, and would be happy to buy you a coffee and converse some time….

Falls Church as in Virginia? I’m 20 minutes away; please count me in for a coffee and a chat 🤓

I hear you and agree re 2025 proving to be an inflection point toward climate disaster and civilization rupture 😔 A Snowy photo would cheer up us readers, though 🥹🙏
