Summary of John Michael Greer's Dark Age America
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The closer we get to the limits to growth, the more our current trajectory points toward a difficult future, and the less people in the industrial world seem to be able to imagine any alternative to driving the existing order of things onward.
#2 The hard fact that we are heading towards a considerably worse future than the present, by almost any imaginable definition, is hard to argue against. The hope that tomorrow will be better than today is ingrained in the collective imagination of the modern world.
#3 The term dark age is used to describe the future that we are heading towards. It is a period of time where there are no written records, and the thread of collective memory and cultural continuity snaps.
#4 The more a civilization declines, the more it resembles every other civilization in decline. The reversion to the mean is a common pattern in the twilight and aftermath of civilizations. Modern industrial society, especially here in North America, is showing all the symptoms of a civilization on its way toward history's compost bin.
