This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Chaos is God. The fear of chaos breeds the hell we see.

If there's no faith in chaos than fear controls those dealing with existentialism. That fear breeds terror, control, and death. That fear builds nations. That fear makes people that think they are above the universe. But it's no more real than a hit of meth and alcohol binge to trick your mind.

Chaos is the other side of the coin to god. Chaos is the infinite nothing, its pure possibility. God is the everything, possibility collapsed into being. It is everything that can be.
