Endgame and new game
Recently there is a lot written on the collapse of our Western society as we know it. When I am sitting on the train, I don’t hear that many people live with this realisation, but for me it is what is real. I don’t believe the voices saying that economy is step-by-step getting ‘healthy’ again – by which they mean in a constant growing curve. If you are just a little bet connected with nature and it’s cycles then you know from deep inside that constant growing is not natural at all.
A few days ago there was a blogpost named Endgame, by the man naming himself Archdruid. He has solid roots in history and reads and knows a lot. Just read it, it tells facts that you won’t read on the front pages of our newspapers; but it still is true. Also read a few of the comments, then you realise this man is seeing evidence of “it looks increasingly to me as though we’re in for a very rough time in the very near future”.
One comment on the use of the word collapse. Somewhere else – I don’t remember where – it was stated that collapse is not what is happening worldwide, because we, the Western world, will just join the lifestyle of the millions of people living outside it.
We will need some humiliy and good common sense to work our way through all what is coming.
