RE: Nature. Although Jordan Peterson gets a lot of trash nowadays (often deservedly), he got this idea absolutely right in his works.
RE: Nations. It's okay to be pessimistic, but have you read John J. Mearsheimer's 'The Great Delusion'? He shares loads of arguments for nationalism and why it's a more potent force than progressive liberalism. In the US, the two gets confused as some liberal sentiments are actually American nationalist ideas. American exceptionalism e.g.
So, I wouldn't bet on nation states disappearing. On the contrary: I've never seen liberalism (or any other ideology for that matter) get priority over nationalism in times of real crisis.
That was well-written. This vision of needing to build now as opposed to tomorrow can help give meaning and help become pro-active as opposed to waiting for a collapse. The differentiation of the kind of looting you can do too. Thanks for the article.

Wow that is really wrong. Humans are MUCH more dangerous than nature. I live in an area with black bears and cougars and I assure you could camp outside here year round and not have any trouble with mega-fauna if you use even the tiniest amount of common sense.
Not true in cities where there is a gang banger and a crazed driver waiting to mow you down around every corner. This is not even to mention wars, security forces, and other institutional forces that are dangerous.
Woody Allen may believe you, but I know better and I don't.

Presumably Heraclitus wrote “nature loves to hide.” Was this a warning?
