Finding Emotional Resilience in These Times
How do you grapple with bigger, deeper issues like catastrophic climate change? Author Carolyn Baker and video producer Ivey Cone join Janaia in a wide-ranging conversation about keeping our hearts open while witnessing the crumbling of industrial civilization. We discuss tools for holding our center, supporting each other, gratitude, and witnessing the powers of the universe at work. For Carolyn, grieving is the most important work now. She sees grieving as the other side of gratitude and love. Ivey constantly asks herself, “what is relevant?” to be doing or being. Janaia ponders what the legacy of the human experiment might be, in the vast story of Earth. Episode 300.

What these women need to be talking about is how poorly women are going to do in the great unwind coming. We see how women are doing already in the world in the various hot spots and failed states. Women need to realize their positions that took years of building up on the backs of growing wealth can and will likely deteriorate very quickly. We are talking a very quick and deep drop in status and privilege possible once the status quo decays. There are things that can be done now for and by women to prepare for this. One of those steps is humility. They need to be accepting of the required sacrifice forced on them from a transition that will take more from them than any other group. It is those women that refuse to acknowledged destructive social change that will be swept away with the tide of collapse.

No one knows what the situation will be like a month from now. As the economies of the world deflate the status of women will decay. The rate of decay will be dependent upon the speed of the decay and the ability of the males to continue to provide for family groups. Matriarchal societies are not unheard of. Which group lifestyle works will evolve in the groups, Who knows what will be a hundred years from now?

With climate change going like it is, hundred yrs from now, if humans survive, we’ll be huddled around fires scared as hell as the predators growl.

Since we extincted all the animal predators, then those growling predators will be other people. Terrorists, misfits, etc

eugene, the ‘predators’ will likely be human as all of the big animals will be gone.
The females will be slaves to the Alpha male and reduced to breeders, then discarded. Old people will be left to die. How else do you think the ‘intelligent ape’ will act? Do you see it happening in the world today? I do.
This is another ‘kumbaya’ video, by a bunch of dreamers. Not reality.

Go speed, try to not use the word ‘terrorist’ as it has lost it’s meaning to the un-indoctrinated.
Use the word ‘predator’ instead. That is what we are deep down. Doesn’t the current world prove that? Wearing a suit and sitting in a board room doesn’t change the fact or make it ‘civilized’. It is still ruthless aggression, murder and theft. Something our Neanderthal ancestors would instantly recognize.

Seen recently on a billboard:
“I’ll see it when I believe it”.
Fits some here perfectly! ^_^
