The news around climate change and economic collapse so often talks about sweeping catastrophes, but a recent thread on the bird site chillingly noted that, in Lebanon, societal breakdown has a *sound*, an uptick in noisiness from extra machine labour trying to counteract the breakdown of prior state infrastructure.
In *your* neighbourhoods, where do you think signs of eco-social collapse will most immediately show up? (Or maybe, where have they shown up already?) Anywhere that surprises you?
@b4cks4w Oh, those are some fascinating net positives. Thanks for sharing them! Not an easy question, but I love that answer. I suspect we'll see a lot more hyper-regional solutions in the coming years - & so the real trick will be maintaining the best of our global networks through the coming shift, both to optimize local practices via ongoing shared knowledge, & to hold more extreme regionalist & nationalist mentalities at bay, even if we're spending more time thinking & acting closer to home.
