one of my favorite things is when I'll hear a political/political economy academic answer the whole "what is to be done" thing with pretty much communism but you can hear him splitting at the seams trying not to call it that because its sounds scary #goliathscurse

This is one reason for civilisational collapse; the immiseration of the masses and the enrichment of the elites.
Four other possibilities; natural disaster; uprising; elite infighting; or attack from outside.

Kemp’s use of the threat/vulnerability/exposure/response matrix derives from some older principles of military strategy: the “four Ds:” Detection, Deterrence, Defense, and Defeat—as well as resilience (a little “r”). #GoliathsCurse www.patreon.com/posts/beer-h...

Great myth-busting conversation.

I wish more people were aware of the history of the 99%.

Just arrived! A little light reading planned! #LukeKempAuthor #GoliathsCurse

That feeling of joy when you go to buy a book that's genuinely blowing your mind for a friend & they tell you it's having another print run cos it's sold out. Right time, right book. Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp. Big learning about ourselves & the myth of our perceived powerlesness. #GoliathsCurse

Reading:

“Goliath’s Curse”
by Luke Kemp

Excellent so far!
I do wonder if ecological overshoot will make an appearance?

ATTENTION! Look up the book or read article from The Atlantic on Luke Kemp and the book he wrote which is called Goliath’s Curse. It’s a real wake up call for not just the USA but the world. Some scary stuff. SMH

"Even if you don’t have hope, it doesn’t really matter. This is about defiance. It’s about doing the right thing, fighting for democracy and for people to not be exploited. And even if we fail, at the very least, we didn’t contribute to the problem.”
