a year later i’m still asking myself: how can we cope with uncertainty as we oscillate between doom and hope?

i’m grateful to have had the chance to work it out for hazlitt.bsky.social: hazlitt.net/longreads/hi...

(and to @ameliaschonbek.bsky.social for the clear-eyed and thoughtful edits!)

our host was a man named ben green (@thepirateben.bsky.social) in 2019, he bought the biggest, cheapest, most isolated piece of land he could find in germany and started what he calls “one man’s ten-year plan to build a post-climate catastrophe community”.
