Thank you,Mr Urban. I think we should form groups of neighbors for mutual aid and support.

That’s true, Brian. I’m talking about mutual as and support for people who’ve Accepted collapse and have read and u derstood Jem Bendell, Deep adaptation, Michael Dowd,(post doom) conversations, etc. It’s a grief process.

Hello. I won't argue about "we've fucked up " and need to deal with it. That's been my thinking for quite a while now, but I still have some hope that our ways of dealing with our situation will change.

Not hope for a world of many billions of people living as we in the western world live, but hope of surviving the sixth extinction and bringing enough other species through it to create a pretty wonderful world in a relatively few generations ( maybe 50 generations? ) IDK.

I am utterly amazed at what nature, biology, or Gaia (choose your word) does when given even a tiny chance and a little time without our machines actively destroying things.

Anyway, I appreciate your essay . And even if we don't make it, we need to be grateful for being around through this great experiment of intelligent life on a pale blue dot floating in the Comos.

Thank you for your well written thoughts.
