Death is Not the End

From collapse comes compost.

Focus:

• Historical rebirth cycles (Renaissance, Meiji Restoration, Harlem, etc.)

• How breakdown breeds innovation, art, and new paradigms

• Cultural death as a clearing: the space for spiritual and civic renewal

• Individual roles in mass renewal (mythological/archetypal context)

• What survives collapse: myth, memory, music, and meaning
