<DIV dir=ltr class=gmail_attr>Друзья, этот выпуск бюллетеня Deep Adaptation
Review настолько содержателен, и настолько в тему, которую нам надо не
откладывая обсуждать, что я перевел основную часть текста на русский-
см.прицепку. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>Кстати, книга Бенделл Джем, Глубинная адаптация.
Карта для навигации по климатической трагедии. 2021. у нас в Библиотеке есть -
вышлю по запросу. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>Прочтите и подумайте - стоит ли и далее прятать голову в
песок и опрвдываться тем, что по самую макушку заняты срочными актуальными
делами.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>События будут развиваться так же быстро, как развивались в
1985-1990-х годах. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>Многие ли оказались готовы и благополучно адаптировались?
<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>Тогда коллапс СССР и всей социалистической системы никто
не ожидал, сегодня мы предупреждены. Но вооружены ли - вот вопрос. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_attr>С надеждой,</DIV>

the street (just not online)</B><BR>Like me, at
some point in the past it probably felt too
painful to allow yourself to consider the
possibility that it’s too late to avoid
catastrophic damage to communities around the
world, including one’s own. Like me, you probably
still experience moments when it feels too
painful. I still distract myself from it - and
quite often. Maybe that’s why I have a passion for
English Premier League football! I’ve tended
to keep that one quiet. Someone just wrote to me
about feeling distraught and confused, and that he

target=_blank>regenerative farming</A>. I’m about
to reply and mention that this summer I read about
all the football transfers and was wondering who
will have the best midfield this season. My point
is that we all have various ways to distract or
entertain ourselves, with some being nourishing,
others less so. We need to find what works for us
right now, without then lying to ourselves about
reality, or postponing the decisions we know we
need to make. <BR> <BR>I might need to
take the decision to become far less bothered by
people not being able to face reality! They’re not
unusual, after all. And I was the same for many
years. But knowing the benefits that can come from
recognising the environmental predicament facing
humanity, it feels sad for so many of my friends
and colleagues to be duped by the two main
narratives being promoted by different factions of
capital today. One narrative is that technology
and enterprise will fix the problems and the other
is that the climate agenda is a total hoax. Big
finance, big tech, clean tech, big pharma and
nuclear are backing the former, whereas big oil is
backing the latter. Both narratives are popular as
they help to suppress anxiety. On the one hand,

a way to eternal self-righteousness. Yet both
stories lead to ineffectiveness and a lack of

Breaking Together. I argued that <B>we need to

instead, where we celebrate the many of us who are
changing our lives positively and helping others

era of disruption and collapse</B>. But there is
no faction of capital behind that ‘doomster’
response - we tend to be rather post-consumer.

But beyond having skills and a clear strategy,
something far more simple is now necessary. The
suppression of information from collapse-acceptors
means that <B>if we want others to hear about
positive ways of responding, we need to go back to
‘good old word of mouth’</B>. That doesn’t occur
through social media anymore. Instead, we need to
contact people directly and make ourselves
available to discuss. So I recommend you forward
this newsletter to a few people who haven’t
already discussed such things with you, and offer
to chat. To help with that, I hope you find
something of interest in this newsletter. As
we didn’t reach our fundraising target for
producing the DA Quarterly every 3 months, from
now on it will be produced every 4 months or so.
So we have renamed it the <I>Deep Adaptation
Review</I>. <BR> <BR>With ‘word of
mouth’ in mind, next year I will be going back to
that old modality of a book tour. I already know

style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">In the years since his
2011 book of future societal and economic
disruption due to environmental change, Paul
Gilding has remained positive that societies still
had time to lessen the harm and transition to a
more sustainable form. Until now. On September
3rd, <A
style="COLOR: #007c89; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
href="https://lifeworth.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c58fbb0d721b1e5f3e4787bdf&id=6b291c592b&e=71dafbe961"
target=_blank>he explained</A> “<I>we have hit a
multi-system tipping point – the “crash” that I
have long argued would trigger “the great
disruption”. We can now expect a destabilisation
of the global climate system at a scale that is so
chaotic, unpredictable and costly, it will trigger
cascading disruptive change in the global economy,
national politics, investment markets and
geopolitical security. The implications are
profound.</I>” <BR><BR>Gilding's essay
provides a useful summary of the shocking
temperatures, droughts, fires, ocean current
trends, and impacts around the world over the last
few months. In reporting on this planetary
derangement, most journalists have turned to the
usual senior suspects for their self-serving
comments on the situation, <A

target=_blank>as Matt Colborn noticed</A> in a
September review. Unusually, one person who
describes himself as a ‘doomer’ appeared on CNN.
Professor Eliot Jacobsen had been producing graphs
of the latest global data. He managed to squeeze
into his interview that “<I>we are witnessing the
collapse of industrial civilisation</I>”.
Reporting on the interview, the CNN headline
writer preferred the more ambiguous-sounding claim
that <A

target=_blank>'we are witnessing the sixth great
extinction'</A>. That can be reassuring if people
think Homo sapiens won’t go the same way as many
other species during this global extinction
event. <BR><BR>Some mainstream publications
have mentioned, in passing, the implications for
humanity of a destabilising climate and collapsing
biosphere. In August, <A

target=_blank>article by Professor William
Rees</A>, warning that “<I>Humanity could be on
the cusp of a civilizational collapse” including a
“major population ‘correction' before this century
is out.</I>” As usual, the media journalists
watered down the message, saying “could be on the
cusp”, whereas the original paper plainly stated
in its subtitle, “... a Major ‘Population
Correction’ <I>Is Inevitable</I>” (emphasis
added). IFL Science reported on the same article

target=_blank>Big Population Crash Is "Inevitable"

a ‘population crash’ sometime this century
doesn’t, however, seem to land with us,

degradation.</I>" Interestingly, it was
endorsed by Dr Alison Green and Dr James Dyke, who
have previously critiqued other scholars for
making such claims. Perhaps this indicates a shift
is underway and a more serious dialogue can be had
in civil society about realistic futures. However,
the CMP avoided stating what “climate degradation”
means for the public they claim they don’t want to
protect from bad news anymore.</SPAN> <SPAN

guiding paradigm for international

cooperation on global challenges is ostensibly a
good idea, the growing influence of multinational

for the future involves giving corporate
executives crucial say in decisions. That is too

Together: a freedom-loving response to
collapse</I> as demonstrating beyond doubt
that <B>the time has come for us all to become
involved in local alternatives to both big
business and big
government</B>. <BR><BR>Further bringing us
down to earth, literally, there were a variety of
articles about how to get ‘collapse ready’ by
growing food in one’s community. For instance, in
June, Sharon Astyk published an overview of
gardening for collapse. <A

Gardens</A> covered different considerations
and methods, with a strong focus on considering
one’s community in efforts towards resilience.
These responses align with the peoples’
environmentalism that Shareable, Low Impact, and
other NGOs are promoting, but which is still the
poor cousin of the mainstream green movement. As
members of the latter, like Paul Gilding, embrace
the collapse agenda, there will be discussions and
disagreements ahead about what best to do in
response. In June, one co-founder of the
environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion,
Gail Bradbrook, gave her view on the need to turn

Instead, there is content like the newly-updated

explores the 6th mass extinction. The map focuses
on various extinct, endangered, and critically
endangered species around the world and emphasises
the dominance of humans in bringing it about: <A

style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">The Deep Adaptation Forum
is an online platform that emerged soon after Jem
Bendell’s paper, Deep Adaptation, was published in
2018. DAF is a collapse-aware community of highly
diverse people seeking to enable and embody loving
responses to our predicament. As our
societies, ecologies, and economies collapse, DAF
works to reduce harm and suffering through a
strong community of resilient, compassionate, and
active human beings. The following text is

ongoing, regular online events such as Deep
Listening, Deep Relating, Grief Circle, Earth
Listening, The Spoken Word, Death Café, Wider

DAF community members to witness their own and
other’s spectrum of emotions, to find solid
ground beneath their feet, to connect deeply with
one another and carry on, holding the perpetual
uncertainty that each day brings. Grief, joy,
laughter and rage, numbness, and meltdown find
safe spaces where self-knowledge can grow and the

Governance Model Takes Shape</B><BR>In September,
DAF will launch a new sociocratic governance model
engaging a more volunteer-based and shared
leadership network. Many voices are heard, as a
small central circle - consisting of volunteer
representatives from six functional circles -
communicates directly with one another. This
General Circle and all other Functional Circles
are easily accessible to the wider community.
Also, in DAF’s efforts to include BIPOC and other
groups, they are experimenting with the Empty
Chair, an excellent practice to expand the
community’s awareness to include all those who
went before and all those to come; to hold the
living world - from stone to cloud - in our hearts
and minds. This practice also honours, more
specifically, those people and species who are
dying right now due to our predicament or are
suffering from the consequences of modern-colonial
injustice. The Empty Chair is present at all
meetings of all circles.<BR><BR><B>Deep Live

Live Gathering, a live coming-together that will
take place in many different locations around the
globe between October 30th and November 5th. DAF
facilitator Igor Polskiy of Montenegro originally
initiated the Gathering, which is a multi-local,
non-commercial event where people can meet in
physical, virtual, and spiritual places. The event
will combine online and offline activities,
connecting virtually to the various Gathering
locations to share space and processes. Each group
will create their offline program collectively.
There are also rooms in the common program for
online processes for sharing with other groups and
individuals. From the Deep Live Gathering website:
"<I>We invite people who are not in denial about
the situation and ready to live and to act
together in the world as it is. We invite people
of different professions and backgrounds,
especially activists, artists, researchers and
protectors of ecosystems, alternative education
practitioners, urban and rural community and
ecovillage members, thinkers, philosophers and
writers, social entrepreneurs, traditional
knowledge holders, psychologists and
psychotherapists, cultural workers, meditation
practitioners, natural beekeepers, forest
gardeners, seed savers, and farmers practising
regenerative agriculture.</I>" For more
