I've been thinking about collapse for at least 5 years now. It's a formitive concept for me, how I understand the world we live in. I think as time goes on, as history plays its course, collapse will spread. It is very definitive in the peripheries, but not as clear in the imperial cores. Collapse creates uncertainty and new possibilites. Although that means some good new stuff can come from it, it is crushingly obvious that it is the prefered circumstances of monsters. How do we prevent collapse? How do we adapt to it? How do we control it? I'll add these to the list of questions with no coherent answers. --- --- --- Support this podcast: Become Patron: ⁠Patreon.com/firethesetimes Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/poldep
