Controlled-environment survival scenarios are farce. All that tech requires huge investment, available technology, tools and energy, people, lots of people but it can't reliably produce food without LOTS of chemicals. Nope. More fantasy and hopium.

Fellow boomers, we can't possibly understand the emotions that subsequent Generations are experiencing as they face the deteriorating Planet we have left them after taking the best for ourselves. Can you imagine being 25 years old and marginally literate and looking around at this world and imagining your future? Ugh.

And for you science buffs, are you familiar with the fascinating concepts of "positive feedback loops" and "thresholds"? I have a hunch that we will be hearing more about these intriguing ideas In the future. (I think that's the near future.)

Me thinx it's high time to build the social pressure for dealing with this calamity in front of us (planetary heating + massive species extinction + everything else). So... pound by pound, let the pressure build. It's time to raise the psychological cost of ignoring this monster. Every hour. Every day.

@hydroponictrash This technology might benefit me greatly this summer. Power is limited (small photovoltaic) so I run a small fan, but my crooked wooden house bakes in the sun.

@BrentToderian Imagine a sustainable, empathetic society. Currently, it's about "the turning away." The turning away from vulnerable people. The turning away from our own natures (towards alienation). The turning away from our living planet.

Restructuring everyday lives to healthy, safe, fun sustainable lifestyles with meaningful relationships, robust community-level production, strong democracy and serious restraint on capitalist bullies.

@bethsawin

Thanks for mentioning indicators. Social and environmental indicators are key to community assessment, community development assessment and community development planning. They logically follow from planning (well-being) goals.

@uxmark Your design weblog site for Connolly Design is quite good. Thanks doing that stuff. GIS, too!! I use QGIS for my forestry work and permaculture design.

@bethsawin I sure wish someone in the admin would say it out loud: lifestyle change. Turns out "they" (we) were wrong. The American Way of Life is negotiable, and biology and physics are the negotiators.

@g1comics @bethsawin Yes, yes... the simple conservation measures we can take. Plus, we look really cool in our warmies sans plastic when we can. I like to warm a flagstone on the wood stove and lay it under the blankets before I call in for the night. But, hot water bottles do the trick, too.

@BrentToderian

A big payoff for adopting designed sustainable communities is the aesthetics. Having lived austerely for decades now I can attest that the aesthetic pay-off offsets the austerity with an ethical (fuzzy warms) pay-off. Either way, status quo is killing the planet and us.

@mikebrunt Thanks and much respect for your work. My track is similar. I've been living it too (decades). Creating/documenting closed-loop systems/patterns useful for future gens. (Practical, proven, low-budget.) Some of my work is here (but have much more to document).

@mikebrunt "We" seem to be missing the most important piece of the puzzle -- substantive (real) lifestyle change. That works well for the ego but not to swell for future gens who face our consequences. Ugh.

@Walk_blesseD @Nazishmunch If I might add a note. My understanding is that authentic self-regulation is fundamental to anarchistic thought. So is dissolution of (ethically) arbitrary (ie., hegemonic) power structures (hierarchy). The principles also surely also include

@Walk_blesseD @Nazishmunch Just an historical note: during the first days of WWII t'were "anarchists" who sacrificed their blood in the streets to push back against nazi/fascists. Then had to defend against stalin's goons. We as a society (US) came in much later -- though some of our literati joined in much earlier (eg. Hemingway). A rich history and conceptual legacy that loose wordage obscures.
