Collapse

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.

The guy linked the DEI with institutional failure thats actually happening, but probably only minimally from the DEI.

I hope palladium goes back to being more ideologically neutral towards institutional functionality and doesn't fall to moronic neoreactionary bullshit like Quillette did .

Usually when something like this passes through the editors desk without getting tossed or forced to come back with substantial supporting evidence it means a magazine hit the beginning of the end. It took less than a year for Quillette to go from good to garbage after they let this type of shit in the door unedited.

It sux because it's been my favorite magazine lately besides Quanta .

If places like the USA stop sucking up all the top cognitive 1% from the rest of the world while conflating that with DEI it's going to seriously accelerate institutional failure and enhance the positions of other countries . Once the "brown people scary and bad" blocks geniuses out USA is cementing it's decline.
