I’ve been reading a book called The 5 Stages of Collaps, by Dmitry Orlov. Over the last decade I have read several books in this niche and this is one of the most dense but entertaining reads on the subject. While the topic is tough to think about for most people, it is a subject that is worth investing a little bit of time into, in my opinion, because no civilization has ever lasted forever. While I do not believe that collapse can be predicted or forcasted, reading a book like this can help you to understand the fragility that is baked into our western world and then translate that into a probablistic map that will allow you to properly insure yourself. By insure, I don’t mean through a large insurance company, I mean approaches like I have detailed out in the Land As Insurance series.

There is a problem with engaging this topic. It can lead to paralysis, obsessivness and inaction because it is scary. If you are prone to this then you may want to broach this subject carefully. As an engineer we are constantly assessing the risk of systems and then creating designed responses to those risks. This is just one more risk to think about and permaculture gives us an approach to manage this risk so that we can move on with our lives in a positive way.
