Thank you, Glen. Everything you say here is right on point. Collectively, for all the reasons you suggest, we are doomed to a horrific, incremental but accelerating collapse and die-off, with no place to run and hide. Individually, we still have options. Our most adaptive option, in general, is summed up in my homespun slogan:
Grow Gardens, Grow Community, Grow Awareness—by learning, teaching, healing, and creating.
