When you’re living through an apocalypse, the most fatal mistake you can make is to convince yourself it’s something else, that everything can somehow go back to normal. Normal is what got us here, and there’s no way out now except to go right on through it.”

M: That’s an oxymoron

The disruption to the global system caused by a six-day blockage of the Suez is only a taste of what is to come.

Origin stories are there for when we wonder why.

Why do so many people not have enough food to eat? Why can’t we afford a simple house? Why is your sex life unsatisfying? Why do I have a chronic health condition?
