In this episode, I speak with John Michael Greer (JMG) an author and blogger in the fields of nature spirituality, and the future of industrial society. He is the author of more than fifty books and a blogger. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife Sara.
Our conversation takes us to the suburbs of Seattle in the 70s. We discuss Druidry since JMG is a druid and ecology.
John is one of the leading minds, in the US, behind the concept of societal collapse.
He was quoted on this topic back in 2008. In 2016, he wrote Dark Age America: Climate Change, Cultural Collapse, and the Hard Future Ahead. Since then John published eight books and countless articles on collapse.
Collapse means that our fossil fuel-based civilization, cannot sustain itself and will fail.
As our world is going through unprecedented pandemic and is bracing itself for what might be also an unprecedented recession.
John’s blog can be found at www.ecosophia....

Always enjoy listening to Greer.

I think he’s being generous about collapse over 2-3 centuries. I give us decades.

More consumption of trinkets is meeting up with less resources as we listen to this podcast!

Hog wash, the frontier mind set, was raw dog hog at the trough, conquering the native tribes, the very heart of the natural environment was turned into a money , private property, land speculators and a strong military state to gain and hold the land .

The point being it was a winning strategy. This more modern system then turned all those pioneers into a conquered hog trough. Larger organizations will continue to eat the hog slop until the resources will no longer support the strategy.
