Am I falling for an alarmist perspective, or is this really happening?

Zack Bush again, the succinct version.

I (and many others) have been concerned with the national debt, the aggregate total leverage in the global financial system which has only increased since global central banks linked arms and "fixed" the problem. It's a growing problem that is easy to see.

I've been concerned with the collapse of health we see all around us, but I was not aware of the dire acceleration of the statistics Zack Bush shows us in his standard (?) presentation (link below). Or maybe we don't see this all around us, and have come to accept the present state of health as simply a function of getting older..."here you are, you'll need to take these meds the rest of your life, you have bad genes".

The state of inadequate nutrition combined with over in-toxic-ation can only lead to disaster. And we are seeing?

Bush is talking not just about financial collapse, or health collapse, or population collapse, or global collapse, but an everything collapse. The most constructive frame for this POV is nature "correcting" over-industrialization, over reliance on technology to "fix everything" (when it is the very thing that has distanced us from nature), scientific myopia, and human tendency toward hubris (man above nature).

And that POV, if it comes to pass, would be a "natural correction" we simply have not seen heading our way...yet. Nature (including human nature) goes to extremes, then swings in the other direction at some point.

Nature is bipolar? It goes through "happy medians", but it does not stay there? If so, that is an uncomfortable perspective, one we can happily ignore and forget during periods of "happy median".

Nature (everything) occurs as fractals, in the longer fractal durations some of those happy medians will last for generations.

If Bush is  correct this particular fractal (the one he's helping us see) is occurring on a scale just slightly beyond the frame of human apprehension (longer than a single generation). And if so most will not begin to "see it" until it's fairly progressed (not quite there yet, getting closer?), and if/when it does become apparent to all many will not understand the simple corrective nature of it.

-----------------------


And if this does come to pass we (as always) will need our clued in young people to understand and not freak out by what they are seeing, so that they may collectively manage "the big correction" as constructively as possible.

Zack Bush covers a lot of ground in a short space here.
