Welcome to the Avert the Collapse of Civilization blog. Although welcomes are usually a time for at least mild celebration, I’m sorry to say that I must start off with some bad news. And then move on to even worse news.
The bad news: Global industrialized civilization is hurtling towards complete collapse.
The worse news: No, I am not exaggerating in the slightest degree.
The worst news: Relatively few people are aware of this, and even fewer are actually doing anything to avert the collapse of civilization.
The good news: I am doing something about this. And I will gladly help you and others do something about this. We can avert civilizational collapse.
The urgent news: We must avert civilizational collapse, or millions upon millions of people will die, very possibly including you, your friends, and your loved ones.
What I am doing: I am starting with this blog, in which I will describe the forces driving civilization to collapse, and how we can avert this collapse. I will shortly release videos to a YouTube channel based upon this blog (details to come).
Most importantly, I am working on a book to alert people to the danger of civilizational collapse, and to explain what they can do to make a real difference. It will take influencing--or becoming!--the people who hold the levers of power in our civilization, in government and industry, to avert this collapse.
Who am I to be doing this: I hold a doctoral degree in psychology from New York University, and I have won awards because of my work regarding the psychology of worldviews, the assumptions that form people's sense of reality--including assumptions that fuel the collapse of civilization. I also hold a certificate in strategic foresight from the College of Technology at the University of Houston, where I focused my work on the danger of societal collapse.
I hope that you will follow this blog. The survival of the human species (at least in industrialized civilization) is really at stake here. That's my kids, my grandkids, and yours. That's everyone I've ever known and loved--and everyone you have, too.
That’s why my focus is to Avert Collapse.
