RELEASING: 27 May 2026 KINDLE PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW One of the biggest misconceptions about collapse is that it only concerns the future or present, when in fact, human history is defined as much by its periods of growth as it is by a long list of frequent, spectacular collapse events. Whilst the symptoms of collapse … Continue reading BOOK LAUNCH: The Biology of Collapse
The reason why there are thousands of times more small fish in the ocean compared to sharks is very simple: sharks eat a lot more, so they come at a very high resource cost to the ecosystem. Nature has designed sharks so that they have far fewer viable offspring than smaller fish, not only so … Continue reading The Real Reason Why Human Population Must, and Will, Crash
When a society is hijacked by parasites, it is only a matter of time before it breaks down. The oligarchs are running the show and have turned governments from governing entities to machines of wealth transfer from the 99% to the 1%. As Americans move into their cars in their millions, and college graduates move in back … Continue reading How The World Ends
I normally don’t expect a nature hike in the clean suburban air of my beach town to turn into a back-to-the future, post-apocalyptic excursion into the remnants of an extinct society. But hey ho, after we had climbed up the hill, enjoyed spectacular views and traversed a forest that was literally dying for a drink of October … Continue reading They Came. They Danced. They Went Extinct

With no ceiling to its population, humanity quickly became an unstoppable infestation that covered the planet. Nothing was spared: biome, landscape, weather, oceans. Today as we witness the aftermath of a millennia-long relentless ecological, environmental and climate holocaust, some still choose to call … Continue reading Delusion Is The Ultimate Renewable Energy Source

Giving up is a desperate but effective attempt to convince ourselves that we still have full control: we lost the battle not because we lost it, but because we chose not to fight it. Or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves. Defeatism is … Continue reading The Joy of Self-Destruction
Amid increasing speculation that America’s oligarchs may be attempting to crash the economy on purpose, it is important to remember that the global economic system was made to crash in the first place, whether intentionally, or not. Capitalism is by definition a self-destructive force which maximizes profit through rapid resource destruction, chaos and inequality. In … Continue reading American Chaos: The Oligarchy’s Plan to do The Unimaginable
In every pre-collapse dystopia there are three types of people: those who represent and curate it, those who have sided with it, and those who detest it. Parasites. Main driver: profit acceleration The first group needs no introduction. It represents the classic self-centred human, typically exemplified by the ruthless accelerationism of “destroy-now-pay-later” suicide economics of … Continue reading How to Survive a Pre-Collapse Dystopia: a Conceptual Segmentation
Our brain has a tremendous affinity for stability. It desperately wants to believe in an unchanging world, even as the world changes. In fact, our brain is so obsessed with stability that it constantly convinces itself that the world is barely in flux. This make-believe stability appears to be fundamental to our feeling of safety, … Continue reading Collapse 101: Climate Denial and the Trauma Response
Educational institutions the world over are keeping up pretences, trying to lure students with the false promise of a career which won’t exist on a collapsing planet.
