Breaking Down: Collapse

I’ve found Kory and Kellan’s banter on the subject of collapse to be enjoyable. If you’ve been paying attention, much of what is discussed will not come as a surprise. I appreciate that they take their time to devote whole episodes to discuss the Kessler effect and abandoned nuclear sites. Many of the topics discussed in previous episodes have indeed come to pass. I really don’t understand what the negative reviewers were expecting here. Maybe skip the review and move along. This is my favorite podcast along with “Fall of Civilizations”.

Awesome!

personally i think these topics need an intersectional perspective (acknowledging nation state entities, hierarchy, and underlying systemic problems associated w/ the global west) but i completely understand why that’s a barrier for entry and accessibility. acknowledging global truths about politics can easily be a turnoff when those truths are in blindspots for the listener. otherwise, a fantastic access point into our changing climate and the world that will be on our shoulders in only a few yrs time, if not currently

Guys, I would send you an email but I can't find an address. Your episode on Eastern Religion where Kellen discussed Buddhism was a very good synopsis. A few tips to clear up some of the points: The First Noble Truth is the statement that suffering exists in the world, not that life is suffering. Each of the truths has 3 aspects that need to be penetrated to or fully experienced. Thus, we have to feel the experience of suffering. The third truth, the cessation of suffering, directs us to experience the end of suffering, which is possible. Once we get intimate with what suffering feels like and how we create it we can also have the experience of not suffering. Cory asked what happens when you achieve enlightenment: no, you don't disappear, you cease to suffer. Karma can be simply understood as cause-and-effect. This causes that.
