Problems Expand with Confusion
New layers of the polycrisis are overwhelming us, but no one will admit it is happening.
As if this weren’t already complicated enough, we must drill down to deeper levels of understanding in the planetary polycrisis to understand how this proliferates at a frightening rate.
While polycrisis is an easier-to-understand label for what we now see daily, these hyperobjects push the limits of human experience.
Since we need to find a path to broader levels of understanding, let’s keep the terminology as friendly as possible to avoid sliding into statistical and scientific complexity outside references. But we must learn to navigate this new world we have created. There are no options except to ignore it and wait for the end.
We are seeing increased intensity in predicting and denying the reality of climate disasters. The only people still in denial are fascists and religionists who haven’t realized that they have lost all credibility. For many people, scientific or even logical credibility is of little interest.
The onslaught of scientifically predicted reality in 2023 leaves little room for denialists unless they can ignore the weather.
