Are We Already in a Slow Collapse?

Over on the The Orthogonal Bet podcast, SoDy's Florian Jehn spoke with host Samuel Arbesman about the origins of his blog, Existential Crunch, the radically interdisciplinary nature of collapse studies, and how the field cuts across domains—from the statistical study of history and the rise and fall of civilizations to catastrophic and existential risk, and the mechanics of societal resilience.

They also explored what collapse might feel like from the inside, and questioned: are we already living in a slow-motion collapse?
