    So this foundation embraces the notion the world is ending and we are helpless about it?

    Forgive me if I’m incorrect, but it seems like “preppers” without the pro-activeness.

      More or less!

      Although personally I don’t see anything wrong with prepping in the sense of trying to build resilience to survive longer. I have a go-bag. I appreciate survival skills.

      But really this group is for people who don’t believe that government climate change responses can or will be sufficient to stop its progress, or that the ongoing mass extinction can or will be halted. There are communities for discussing collapse that are full of people who are new to the science and who are still going through the stages of grief, which is great, but in those communities many people who have processed the news are left asking “Now what?” Some people are looking for discussions without the hopium, and some people are looking for guidance about how to find meaning with their new understanding of the future.

      I created this group because I saw people asking for it. I’m not invested in what it becomes. However, personally I’d like to find collaborators through this group for collapse-related data science projects like tracking sentiments or analyzing environmental data.

      Thank you for asking, it was a reasonable question. I hope this gives you a better idea about what the group is for.

        OK, that’s clear. Thanks for your response.
