How We Could Survive in a Post-Collapse World
It appears that the very fabric of organized society is unravelling today.
I chat about a brand new paper that examines this very thing.

Abstract
The potential for societal collapse has become a pressing concern as the impacts of climate change intensify, threatening global stability. This paper explores the multifaceted risks of collapse, emphasizing the interconnected environmental, economic, and geopolitical pressures that contribute to vulnerability. By examining historical collapses, such as those of the Roman Empire and the Maya civilization, alongside contemporary examples like Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, the paper highlights the unique challenges of the current global crisis. Unlike past localized collapses, today’s climate crisis is unprecedented in its speed and scale, raising critical questions about the adaptability of modern societies. The study proposes adaptive strategies, including fostering local self-sufficiency, building resilient community networks, and embracing uncertainty as central to survival in a deeply altered world. It argues that while historical lessons pro-vide valuable insights, new approaches are needed to navigate the complexities of the Anthropocene. Ultimately, the paper underscores the urgency of reimagining societal resilience to confront an era defined by profound environmental upheaval and uncertainty.

Title: An Analysis of the Potential for the Formation of ‘Nodes of Persisting Complexity’
by Nick King and Aled Jones
Abstract:
Human civilisation has undergone a continuous trajectory of rising sociopolitical complexity since its inception; a trend which has undergone a dramatic recent acceleration. This phenomenon has resulted in increasingly severe perturbation of the Earth System, manifesting recently as global-scale effects such as climate change. These effects create an increased risk of a global ‘decomplexification’ (collapse) event in which complexity could undergo widespread reversal. ‘Nodes of persisting complexity’ are geographical locations which may experience lesser effects from ‘decomplexification’ due to having ‘favourable starting conditions’ that may allow the retention of a degree of complexity. A shortlist of nations (New Zealand, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland) were identified and qualitatively analysed in detail to ascertain their potential to form ‘nodes of persisting complexity’ (New Zealand is identified as having the greatest potential). The analysis outputs are applied to identify insights for enhancing resilience to ‘de-complexification’.
