Banks aren't the only ones who should be preparing.
So humanity doesn't go extinct we need:
1. Replacing GDP with a better metric.
2. Less fragile technology.
3. Scenario planning to handle a population crash to a sustainable level.
4. Better post-crash strategic spatial planning.
5. Sustainable agriculture.
6. Attitudes and ongoing education that incorporate natural custodianship.
7. More grassroots organizing to establish green political leadership worldwide.

2/2 Think tanks should focus on depopulation studies, offering policy guidance and planning for sustainable, post-collapse survival. So humanity doesn't go extinct we need:
1. Replacing GDP with a better metric.

3. Scenario planning to handle a population crash to a sustainable level.
4. Better post-crash strategic spatial planning.

1/2 Current research suggests Earth's sustainable population is around 3 billion, living with Swiss-like efficiency. Over-consumption in large countries and future pollution from high-population poor countries must be reduced. The challenge lies in achieving this while managing climate collapse and its side effects. A gap exists in discourse on handling declining populations within degrowth organizations.

@rose_alibi @ntnsndr since they enable me to do things I would have never done before, I start doing those things! Work expands to fill the available time allotted.

@rose_alibi @ntnsndr I don't know, I find chatGPT to be useful for creativity. You do have to throw out about half of what it writes though. It's also a reasonably good grammar checker and summarizer.

@wjmaggos they don't have conversations. They hire an executive HR consultant to recommend the pay, and then they rubber stamp it. My daughter used to be one such consultant.

@Yukari I read a book once, I believe it was called the Elements of eloquence. Basically how to use rhetorical flourishes to make your writing a little more flashy. You learn a few of these in high school of course but this book was really extensive.
