Its teh pok eclipse

I'm moving this week. The next post will be a week or more away.

I've been in an apocalyptic mood lately. If you feel like pondering the future from this perspective (remember, changing perspective is good), here are some links for you:

The Consequences of Failure: What Eco-Collapse Might Look Like

The Slow Crash, by Ran Prieur.

An article from someone who lived through the collapse of the Soviet Union, Dmitry Orlov, entitled "Post Soviet Lessons for a Post American Century."

An article by a good friend, "Armageddon Isn't What It's Cracked Up to Be"

A post I wrote at makotokan.org, "More End of the World Nonsense." Makotokan is a social experiment implemented by some friends of mine. If you want, you can register over there and start blogging - it's an open community (as long as you're not a jerk).

Here are some links about stopping the end of the world:

Global government? Why not?

The signature essay on How to Save the World, The Truth About Nature: How to Save the World. It's long.

Paradigm Shift. This is a project of mine that is in its infancy. Read the intro, then click on the links... it's still an amorphous idea in my head, but if you want to contribute, the link above is to a wiki, so you are welcome to add ideas and resources to the biblography, et cetera.

Spend a little time over at How to Save the World. While I don't agree with every single thing he says, Dave Pollard is right on for the most part. He has some big ideas, so put aside a little time to read and ponder.
