Climate chaos is here. Extinction? Right around the corner. I study social psychology and put a positive spin on our impending doom. 💛

I wrote a little book just for you. "Oh, Pooh, It's Over: A Story of Our Gentle End" is a sensitive exploration of our existential climate crisis through the eyes and hearts of our little friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. #climatecrisis #collapse #coping

Oh, Pooh, It’s Over: A Story of Our Gentle End
For everyone who ever wasand everyone who never will be.Introduction: Quiet Before the StormWe are living into something extraordinary. Predictions about what’s to come will be hollow – we’ve never done this before. We just don’t know what’s going to happen. The only thing we can really know is that we don’t really know. Not knowing is hard for anyone “of very little brain,” as our friend Winnie the Pooh would put it. And right now, I sure feel “of very little brain.” The world is shifting. Fore

Doomer? The Doomee perspective acknowledges the same reality (WASF), but transforms how we relate to it. No need to rage, build community or save the world. You just need to ask yourself: "How can I reduce suffering right now, in this moment?" 💛 #collapse #doom

In Ch. 2 of my novel FEEL, Noonie bikes through a devastated world to her genetics lab where she secretly seeks to weaponize empathy against the System. Her quantum theory of compassion may be closer to reality than anyone imagined. Enjoy! 💛

Chapter 2 of my novel FEEL. Read the full novel for free on WattPad.Noonie clinked the key back into the belly of the cracked garden gnome—his face, long erased by the elements, already cooking in the early morning light. She placed the loyal sentinel gently back in place under the dry, empty bird bath. She pulled with all her might to open the slanted steel door, trying to be quiet. Directly above her, the kitchen window was dark. Above that, the second-story bedroom window of Christmas, who of

We evolved not just the capacity for cruelty, but the appetite for it. Our brains reward us for causing pain. The same psychology driving MAGA has deeper roots than you think. If you still like to read, enjoy my latest. 💛

Climate denialism isn't about stupidity. It's about our brains being unable to process the death of every framework we've built to avoid thinking about death. This is "Meta-Death Anxiety." And it explains everything.💛
