This has been a doozy of a year. And it's the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won't die of old age?

I think I'm on an accepting phase too.

I've been through a lot personally and emotionally since I started reading about collapse 9 years ago.

I had a look at this publication a few years ago, it put me in a rough place for a few days.

Recalibration of limits to growth: An update of the World3 model

Humanity will survive I'm certain of it, however our thermo industrial civilization will not and most of the people currently living in the planet will not.

It will happen whatever I personally do.

The best I can do now is to find ways to have the happiest life I can using as little ressources as possible for my family, my community (neighbors, friends ...) and me. It's a process that forces us to reassess a lot of things we were doing but it is fascinating.

Practically it means finding ways to lower our monthly expenses, try to consume local as much as possible and learning a lot of new techniques..
