For the last three years, Wilson has been researching and writing a book on systems collapse, the first chapter of which is called Hope – about “how there is no hope, and we need to face this”.

Well,.yes :) as Nathan Rees opined, all we can do is endure

I thought tbis interesting

Wilson moved to Paris two years ago on an artist’s visa to work on her book. The topic of collapsology is one the French are “really on top of” – collapse experts there do morning TV, and books on the subject top bestseller charts, making it a more fitting place to get to work than Sydney. “It’s a topic that I would say Australians are just not alive to yet,” she sighs.

    Could be her research is lacking. Diamond did a lot of damage with Collapse but I haven’t read her book or substack are so I don’t know what her source are.

    Her takes aren’t all bad:

    But Wilson is keen to point out that she doesn’t think all this means we should stop having children. That’s for the same reason she thinks we should keep being climate activists, keep standing up for Gaza, and keep creating art: we must keep being human.
