I’m pessimistic about the future,” he says. “But I’m optimistic about people.” Luke Kemp’s new book covers the rise and collapse of more than 400 societies over 5,000 years and took seven years to write. The lessons he has drawn are often striking: people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens.

Today’s global civilisation, however, is deeply interconnected and unequal and could lead to the worst societal collapse yet, he says. The threat is from leaders who are “walking versions of the dark triad” – narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism – in a world menaced by the climate crisis, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and killer robots.

If you live in Seattle — or anywhere else in Washington State for that matter — remember that you have until Tuesday, August 5th at 8 PM to get your ballot in. Local elections are critically important! Please participate and urge friends and family to do the same.

Katie Wilson’s voter’s pamphlet statement reads, in part: “As your mayor, I’ll create 4,000 units of emergency housing to reduce unsheltered homelessness. I’ll invest in alternatives to police response for nonviolent calls so SPD can focus on serious crime. I’ll expand mental health and addiction treatment. I’ll support small businesses and create good, green jobs. I’ll build on the gains we’ve made for our city’s workers, and raise new progressive revenue to protect vulnerable communities from Trump’s cuts. Voters have twice supported social housing, by a landslide; Seattle deserves a mayor who will work to make it successful, not undermine it.”

”She [Wilson] is competent, pro-active, experienced, smart, and is committed to public service with visionary leadership to make sure Seattle is a good place for the majority of regular working people in Seattle to live and build vibrant communities with real quality of life,” said a female Democratic voter between the ages of fifty and sixty-four.

“Wilson has shown she is the smartest person in the race and is standing up for the people of this city and the neighborhoods, not just the wealthy and downtown business interests,” said a male Democratic voter between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four. “Harrell has been plagued by scandals that have cost the city millions. He also has failed to maintain a healthy budget by refusing to raise progressive taxes, which is exactly the issue Wilson is best suited to resolve.”

“This act, unfortunately, adds to the ongoing military attacks against the civilian population and places of worship in Gaza,” the pope said on Sunday.

”I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, the indiscriminate use of force, and the forced displacement of populations.”
