Every civilization in history has faced moments of overwhelming existential crises, and they all eventually collapsed. Was this failure inherent in the evolution of civilization, something within the human species, or a combination of both? More importantly, was it predictable and unavoidable?
Most civilizations believed they had a special relationship with the divine and were beyond the laws of nature. Our current economic civilization is now global and interdependent. Today's economy is responsible for the most rapid mass extinction in Earth's history.
We face imminent catastrophic climate change and environmental disruption, yet the same sense of exceptionalism and hubris clouds humanity's judgement and ability to act rationally.
