Is it because:

It is the fifth and final stage of grief in the Kübler-Ross model. It entails the healthy processing of emotions after confronting a harsh reality.

If this year taught us anything, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.
I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Ecosystem collapse, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, climate change, land overuse, deforestation, droughts, salinization...sound familiar?
These often led to political instability and social unrest. Sound familiar?

My grad work in archaeology focused in part on civilizational collapse, birthed from my fascination with EOTW lit.
Civilizations have collapsed since humans began organizing into complex societies. Among them: Rome, Maya, Puebloan, Old Kingdom Egypt, Aztec, Inca.
