a year later i’m still asking myself: how can we cope with uncertainty as we oscillate between doom and hope?. i’m grateful to have had the chance to work it out for @hazlitt: (and to @ameliaschonbek for the clear-eyed and thoughtful edits!).

at the Collapse Laboratory, ben gathered like-minded people who believed that climate collapse wasn’t just imminent, it was happening now — and that we needed to think deeply about how to show up for it. i was curious.

our host was a man named ben green (@thepirateben). in 2019, he bought the biggest, cheapest, most isolated piece of land he could find in germany and started what he calls “one man’s ten-year plan to build a post-climate catastrophe community”.

last summer i spent a week living in an old army barracks-turned-eco-bunker, deep in the east german forest. i was there for the Collapse Laboratory, a retreat that brought people together to think about how to prepare for the end of the world.

i'm working on a project that does exactly this. it's great to see this expressed so clearly and urgently, and i agree: we desperately need stories that explore the emotional landscape of the climate crisis to show us how to live right now.
