A convo about the collapse of civilization may not be everyone’s cuppa tea, but a spoonful of Dave Pollard makes the medicine go down! And today Dave is bringing the sweetness to episode one of Reskillience for a Big Hairy Chat about the End Times – that ain’t so scary after all. We discuss what “collapse” means, skills that can help us cope and adapt, why communitarianism is where it’s at, and how to catch each other when The Shit Hits The Fan. Dave is a writer and longtime student of culture, systems theory, complexity, history, human nature, non-duality and how the world really works. He describes himself as a dechooled non-spiritual vegan and joyful pessimist – and after this surprisingly uplifting conversation, I’m sure you’ll agree.CONNECT WITH DAVEDave’s home on the web ~ How To Save The WorldLINKS TO STUFFDave’s recommended reading list ~ The Books That Have Influenced Me MostDave’s article ~ How Do We Teach the Critical Skills Needed to Face Collapse?Molly Housch Gordon's piece ~ How to Survive the End of The World
