Thanks Ian, really appreciate this mate.

It says everything you need to know that a substack called ' A Grand Unified Theory of Doom' can actually find a readership online... πŸ˜‚

Collapse: Living Without the Future We Were Promised What happens when the future stops organising behaviour

Industrial civilisation trained us to live inside expanding futures.

What happens when progress stories stop working? Perception, ethics, time, and attention reorganise.

I'd like to contribute to the discussion about what a 'doomer' is, by offering a meta definition that all other definitions sit within;

"A doomer is someone who understands and accepts that global industrial civilisation is collapsing due to ecological overshoot."

This is disingenuous.

Everyday consumers using the energy produced by these firms are no different to the people running the fossil fuel companies. #overshoot #collapse

Thanks Cynthia, I think it's important that more people write about neurodivergent perspectives and experiences in collapse. Really glad you connected with this ☺️

If Collapse Is Inevitable, Why Does Seeing Early Matter? The evolutionary role of Neurodivergence in a collapsing world

Why do some people see #collapse coming early - even when it costs them socially, professionally, and changes nothing at scale?

Here I argue that early perception isn’t about prevention at all, but about preserving adaptive options as systems fail. Thx :)

Why Some People See Collapse Earlier Than Others Perception, pattern-seeking, and the role of neurodivergence in a failing civilisation

A while back I wrote a thread about neurodivergence and #collapse that struck a chord with far more people than I expected.

Several of you asked me to take it further - to deepen it, and make sense of the pattern properly.

Thx for reading :) #overshoot
