A personal blog on my learning from reading, listening and seeing. The name SKALMAN is taken from the Swedish cartoon 'Bamse – The World's Strongest Bear'
'To be a catastrophist, for us, simply means avoiding a posture of denial and taking note of the catastrophes that are taking place. We have to learn to see them, to accept their existence and to say goodbye to all these events will deprive us. In our opinion, it’s this attitude of courage, of consciousness and calm, with our eyes wide open, that will enable us to pursue future paths. This isn’t pessimism. […] The paths we might pursue are barely marked, and they lead to radical change in life, a life less complex, smaller, more modest and respectful of the limits and boundaries of the living world. Collapse is not the end but the beginning of our future.‘#
