Tears are in my eyes as I’ve read Matthew Slater’s post (forwarded below). Knowing him as one of the strongest ‘possibilitists’/optimists who has been working on realistic options for a livable future. I don’t know what to make of this, how to interpret this, how to deal with this. I do know, that his words are not lightly spoken. I do think we should worry. I feel that our solution(s) are not in maintaining wellbeing, as much as in sticking together. I want to hold your hands as the tsunami is coming, feel your embrace. See what is the best we can do, as *our* world is failing. To me, in this context, even knowing (and: doing!) what should be done. To choose survival, together, is worthwhile challenge. Even though the fruits of our labour might not be the utopic reality we long and strive for.

When the banks crashed in 2008 I paid attention to a lot of apocalyptic reporting that said we came *this* close to economic Armageddon - whatever that meant. As I better understood how capitalism is a stupid dogma preached increasingly only by self-serving, vain sociopaths <https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/give-and-take/201310/does-studying-…>, how it requires exponential consumption of resources <http://www.missingtheforest.com/capitalisms-problem-exponential-growth-in-a…>, and how it has failed to respond to increasingly shrill science-based warnings, I came to expect an ugly financial and/or climate collapse as inevitable in my lifetime. I was alarmed in early April 2018 when the polar vortex broke <https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/27/north-pole-temperatures-soar-pa…> and Europe froze, but Jem Bendell's paper, Deep Adaptation: A map for navigating the climate tragedy <http://www.lifeworth.com/deepadaptation.pdf> didn't alarm me too much. His favoured theory was a multi-breadbasket failure (MBBF) within 5-10 years; the melting of sea ice at the north pole would disrupt the weather so much that that grain harvests in Russia, USA and Canada would all fail, and that this would probably lead to societal collapse. Fair enough, I said. Jem's instincts can be uncanny. Last week I heard the news that the polar vortex has shifted over from the less cold north polar ocean to greenland, where more ice remains, and this has meant near incessant rain for grain farmers in USA. By the end of the planting season, only 60% of the fields had been planted, and much of what was planted had drowned.

Climate science is far from exact, but when it starts playing out we'd be foolish to say it was wrong. But there's a leap from "crops will fail" to "society will collapse" which is another field entirely. A sensible society could still take steps (that's what Deep Adaptation is about) not so much to reduce carbon emissions but to ensure that resources are shared. But our society is very far from sensible, or even aware of what is coming. A real but manageable hunger crisis, perhaps comparable to the special period in Cuba <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs6xoKmnYq8>, will be compounded by shock, blame, #ClimateGrief <https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/gy48d4/environmental-grief-climate-chang…>, and opportunist elites profiting from pain. So this winter the global grain reserves will be eaten and as in 2011, the poorer countries will probably experience political unrest fueled by high food prices.

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sally De Kunst <sally_de_kunst(a)hotmail.com> Date: Sat, Jun 1, 2019 at 3:30 PM Subject: THIS BOOK IS YOURS - support us to make a book about artistic collaboration! To: Sally De Kunst <sally_de_kunst(a)hotmail.com> Dear friends and colleagues, *We need your support for the book we are currently preparing! * As you all might know, Arc artist residency had to close its doors in December 2018. After this news we decided we wanted to shed a light on the artistic research and the collaborations that took place at Arc, by publishing a book. *’THIS BOOK IS YOURS – Recipes for artistic collaboration’* will cover four years in the life of Arc, from January 2015 till December 2018. Each chapter of the book starts with a recipe for a meal that was prepared at Arc on a certain occasion, because the easiest and most fundamental way of gathering people, exchanging and collaborating is by cooking and eating together. The 19 chapters will furthermore contain other «recipes» for artistic research and collaboration: texts, instructions, scores, drawings, essays, diaries and more, contributed by artists and other practitioners from various fields who were involved in Arc. *In order to be able to finance this publication, we need your support. * We started a *crowdfunding to find 7.000.- CHF* and every little bit will help. You can pre-order the book, but also buy a postcard or a glossary, or invest in a drawing or a diner. *You can find all the info to pledge here:* *wemakeit.com/projects/this-book-is-yours <http://wemakeit.com/projects/this-book-is-yours>* A big thank you in advance for your support and for forwarding this message to your friends!
