11 Reasons Our Civilization Will Soon Collapse

An excellent article came out recently, explaining 10 reasons why our civilization will soon collapse; here is the link: www.okdoomer.io/10-reasons-our-civilization-will-s… Since this article is so well written, well referenced, and hard hitting I felt that it was very important to do a detailed video on it. Given the total destruction of a hospital in the Gaza Strip today with the loss of over 500 human lives, almost certainly by a U.S. built JDAM 1000 pound bomb dropped intentionally from an Israeli warplane, I have added an additional reason to the ten in the article. Given the events of the day, we appear to be marching closer to global catastrophe and civilization collapse, and it is hard to argue that we don’t deserve it. Please donate to paulbeckwith.net/ to support my research and videos as I connect the dots on abrupt climate system change caused mayhem.

Wow, thanks for discussing my article! That's actually the first article I ever wrote about collapse. I tried to be thorough because I wrote it in order to convince my family, but glad to see so many others find it interesting.

I was a bookworm in high school and I knew that this was coming back then. I predicted all this would happen in my lifetime and I was labeled an ‘environMENTAList’. I am now 74 and there is a reason why we have no children!

It's really tough going to work every day and working on some pointless bullshit in order to pay the bills while constantly in the back of my mind there's this thought that all this might come crumbling down far before i ever reach retirement age, pay off my debts or afford homeownership. On top of all that im watching my country drift further and further toward fascism which somehow noone seems to notice or care about.

40 years ago my biology teacher told the class all about overshoot. She had studied fruit fly population for her masters and showed us all the graphs and told us this was happening to us as a species

The best we can do in these times is love each other and extend help whenever and wherever we can.

An observation: Even when serious people discuss climate change, the conversation revolves around transitioning away from fossil fuels to more sustainable green energy. It's always a discussion about how to maintain our status quo by some other means. How do we make cars and airplanes more efficient? How do we reduce the cost of heating our homes? etc. Nobody it seems is willing to even consider the possibility of just using less. And herein lies the real problem. We are not willing to do what is necessary, because we are not willing to make any fundamental changes to our lifestyles. This is why we're all doomed.

I am the opposite of hopeful. In late 60s and still working part time. My county in Florida is over run with large pickup trucks. more homes being built and the remaining wild land is being bulldozed. An acquaintance of mine is remodeling his house to nearly 4000 square feet. Just him and his wife. None of the people I know, liberal or conservative, have let up on air travel. Globally, I see no let up on consumption combined with an ever growing upper and middle class. Minor changes around the edges, like heat pumps EVs, will do nothing if we can't reverse habits especially among the top 10%.

McPherson was wrong to put out dates, and he now knows that, but he's not wrong on the outcome. I think most climate scientists can not bring themselves to look into the Abyss that the future has for us.

A couple of hundred years ago, each human community was more or less self-sufficient, but now we are all interdependent. Our industrial society relies on relatively small numbers of engineers, scientists, and technicians, and if a significant percentage of them were killed in 'natural disasters', society could collapse long before we reach any other limits.

The age of convenience is coming to an end.

I like Alan Urban's writing and his reporting on his journey from realizing that collapse is coming to prepping to acceptance.

we waste half the food we produce

There’s only one question that needs to be answer if (when) we experience a “breakdown of governments and economies” (really there’s only one economy now, it’s global and it can’t stand if it loses any significant part of it). Who is going to keep all of the nuclear facilities out there from failing in some form or other and poisoning the world? Do we seriously believe that the parts and supply chains that they require will continue to be available. Will the maintenance technicians and operation staff of every reactor world wide continue to turn up to work every day when they are no longer being paid - or have food? This isn’t a hypothetical question. If we are seriously expecting economic and government collapse, then this is the end game.

Also the topsoil is completely removed whenever a building is built. Meaning that the farmland we lose to development will not be able to be easily redeveloped into farmland.

Thank you for this video and thanks to people sharing in the comments. So many of us are completely alone in collapse awareness. Of course I don't and cant talk with my elderly parents about this, but I can't even have a conversation with my husband of almost 30 years. He has (after several years now) accepted my efforts toward increased preparedness and self-sufficiency, but he is not participating and we can't talk about the likely possibility of collapse without arguing. It is just such a dark topic, filled with so many uncertaintaies. Many people just cannot engage in this conversation... maybe never. To anyone else who is feeling completely alone in this, I guess we are united in our isolation. Please share any tips for dealing with all this completely alone... Thank you

Paul, you've needed to put this video out for a hell of a long time. It's a goddamned doozy, and it's exactly what the whole world needs shouted at them.

I cant wait! Anything is better than to go on as wage slaves longer.

The evil in the world is our unwillingness to compromise, not the consequences from our refusal. It happens because the people who refuse to compromise aren’t the people who have to suffer the consequences of their refusal.
