Collapse & Complexity

Entropy isn’t just biological—it’s civilizational.

Focus:

• Systems theory meets collapse theory (Tainter, Greer, Diamond, Turchin)

• Entropy in cultural, ecological, and institutional systems

• The role of overshoot, fragility, centralization, and resource depletion

• Psychological effects of collapse (pre-traumatic stress, societal grief)

• Signs we’re already inside collapse—not waiting for it
