Resources for the metacrisis
We seem to be at the centre of a great unravelling of systems, with crises looming in the climate, in global stability, in cost of living, in the erosion of truth and discourse as algorithms and ai hijack our brains and turn us against one another.
The truth is that this is one crisis, which is the inevitable result of the culture we all live in. We call this single crisis that unites the environmental, economic, social and personal layers the Metacrisis.
Most people are just carrying on with their normal lives, hoping things will return to Business as Usual. We know that things are unravelling, that we should be taking action to address things, but the world just seems to continue as if nothing is wrong. There’s a weird disconnect between growing crisis, and a sense of normality.
Many of us are find this unsettling, frightening or overwhelming. We need to continue to thrive in our current lives, but also stay aware of what’s coming.
I made this page to provide some resources for anyone who wants a better idea of what’s going on in the world, and how to cope and prepare.
