A certain Pablo Servigne is making the establishment very nervous as if these poor people did not already have enough with the issue of having to think of something more creative than banning the use of cryptocurrencies.

Pablo Servigne was born in Versailles in 1978, he is a very young French author and lecturer, particularly interested in ecological transition, agroecology, collapsology, and collective resilience. (Resilience is the ability of a living being to adapt to a disturbing agent or an adverse state or situation when the disturbance to which he/she had been subjected has ceased.)

Together with another researcher named Raphaël Stevens, Pablo coined the concept of “collapsology”, with the following definition:
“A transdisciplinary exercise to study the collapse of industrial society and what could happen next, based on reason, critical thinking, intuition, and the most recognized scientific works”.

Together with Raphaël Stevens, he published the book "How Everything Could Collapse: A Little Manual of Collapsology".
As all of you can imagine, collapsology is widely rejected by the establishment and the mainstream. And that's what makes it more interesting. Since the only thing that occurs to governments and international organizations is to prohibit, then they have to start thinking about how to prohibit collapsology.
After having compiled an impressive amount of analytical work on the aggravation of global warming, the depletion of energy, biodiversity, food, forest, and mineral resources, his thesis is clear: "ecosystems are collapsing, the catastrophe has already begun for humanity.”, and it will speed up”.

Collapsology is the new interdisciplinary science that brings together the studies, facts, data, prospects and scenarios that demonstrate this catastrophe.
The manual explains in an entertaining way that today, the interconnectedness of the environmental, energy, demographic, and socio-economic crises causes growing systemic instabilities and threatens human survival. A vision that we are facing the possibility of a collapse of the global economy, of our societies, especially of industrial society, is becoming more and more frequent in scientific works.

A collapse does not mean in any way the end of the world, nor the apocalypse, nor a specific catastrophe. Rather, it means the end of a cycle. The common people tend to believe that what is common for their daily life today will also be common tomorrow.
Collapse, as defined by Servigne and Stevens in their manual, is a process by which basic needs (water, food, lodging, clothing, energy, etc.) can no longer be provided at a reasonable cost to a majority of the population, through the services framed in the law.
Regarding resilience, Servigne identifies 4 types of resilience: community resilience, global resilience, local resilience, and internal resilience. All have been tested with the Covid19 plandemic, and the results will be seen in the coming years. I don't want to talk about the "New Normal", because it seems like a horrible term to me. But I am sure that the set of these resiliencies on the planet will at least lead to new forms of government, especially in the smallest communities.

According to Servigne, the individual will go from fear to anger, then to sadness and then there will be forces to push towards new possibilities of rebirth of him/herself in the depths, and of his/her closest beings, friends, family, neighbors, etc. in a kind of approach to a community life that starts from the most intimate to the local, the regional, then to the planetary and finally to the cosmos. We are on the way to forming small communities like the ones Kropotkin suggested, which coordinate in an anarchic way, and which may become the most typical model of a new civilization, once the holocaust for consumption is over.

And here the theme of mutual aid and cooperation arises - typical features of anarchy. I wrote several articles on anarchist philosophy and morality, see for example:

Bitcoin and Anarchy: Message in a bottle

and

Anarchy is not the absence of rules but of regulators

In this case, the discussion, as is to be expected, enters into very rough terrain, because the homo industrialis tends to believe that industry and consumption are the end of time and that there is nothing more to create because people is greedy by nature and wants to earn a lot of money and accumulate it. For this reason, the only economic model that is studied in the universities of the planet is the "growth" model, as if it were the only possibility for an economy. Of course it is not the only one, but it is the one that ensures the increase in consumption financed from central banks through the printing of debt called fiat money.

Servigne, in another of his books "Mutual Aid: The Other Law of the Jungle" frontally attacks the myth of a world built on the basis of competition and the law of the fittest (commonly called social Darwinism). Relations between species and between members of the same species are not reduced to competition and predation, but symbiosis and cooperation are the most important and key principles of all evolution.

An important clarification, Servigne is an ethologist and a deep researcher of the behavior of ants. In this book he cites numerous examples of cooperation in nature, such as lions hunting together, penguins gathering together to protect themselves from the cold, and trees redistributing nutrients to weaker ones through a fungus on their roots. Servigne does not deny competition, which he considers essential to set limits, be it in a territory, be it in reproduction. But neither does he accept the myth that thanks to competition we have managed to evolve, a subject that fascinates Darwinians, that is, those who defend the model of the success of the strongest.

Servigne demonstrates that altruism and mutual aid are elements of social cohesion that develop spontaneously among human beings, especially in situations of natural disasters, seeking self-organization, coordination, and calm.

The so-called “oil peak” is, according to Servigne, a determining factor in the collapse of civilization.
The oil peak is the moment of maximum oil extraction rate. It is a theoretical moment from which the amount of available oil is expected to decline irreversibly. The concept of peak oil is attributed to Marion King Hubbert (1903-1989), an American geologist and geophysicist, who formally presented it for the first time in 1956. This concept is based on extrapolating the known history of deposits in exploitation or that have been exploited to the world total. Oil fields reach their peak production very quickly, then reach a plateau, where production remains more or less constant, followed by a long decline.

Although the number of discoveries has remained stable since the end of the s. XX, after having had its maximum in the 60s of the last century, the ERR (energy return rate) of these deposits is lower. This should not surprise us, since it is a finite, non-renewable resource, and it is reasonable to think that the largest and richest deposits were the first to be discovered. Some estimates indicate that we are probably currently experiencing the peak of conventional crude oil.

What are the implications of an oil peak?

The clearest, implicit in the very definition of oil peak, is the progressive decrease in oil and the energy that can be extracted from it. Substituting oil and other fossil fuels for other energy sources is not a simple matter, since there are certain sectors (eg air transport, heavy transport by sea and road) whose electrification is not viable. In addition, these substitution attempts would require enormous amounts of energy and/or rare and scarce raw materials in their development.

There is a correlation between the real economy and the amount of energy available, and oil is deeply embedded in all economic sectors. Therefore, the decrease in the available quantity of oil and other fossil fuels, and therefore in the available energy, has implications on many levels in the global economic system. In addition, the control of energy and mineral resources are the main determining factors of the geostrategic agendas of the great powers, that is to say, in the design of new wars and invasions in the name of the salvation of the invaded peoples.

And we owe it all to the human being and its growth economy. What can biodiversity matter to a vampire banker who only thinks of buying a bigger yacht?

There is obvious geopolitical destabilization due to the oil peak, and the entire civilization boasts an incredible dependence on oil. Who was it that did not make a careful design of the scenario?

Oil dependency can be treated like any drug dependency. It is as if the human being had detached himself from nature, assuming that he/she is not part of it, and looks at it as an external observer. It is very simple to look with critical thinking and with the premises of chaos theory at the functioning of nature and see how all species cooperate with each other in a huge unprogrammed experiment in coordination.

On the other hand, what we have as a result of thinking only with the Darwinian evolutionary model and believing as a conceptual foundation that human beings are competitive by nature and that the only economy that exists is that of growth, is a total dependence on a resource.

The covid19 plandemic and its extensive lockdowns clearly show us how the fragile economic system of large cities is collapsing almost completely, and that only the bailout of governments through the crazy and unbridled printing of fiat money can save them.

Conclusion

The system that we ourselves have designed in the last 250 years has made us “heteronomous”, as the opposite of autonomous. According to the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy, heteronomous is someone subjected to a foreign power that prevents the free development of his/her nature.
We are totally dependent on the monster we have created, as the Eagles' 70s theme Hotel California showed. And on top of that, this monster proves every day to be very fragile and vulnerable.

Servigne does not believe that human beings are selfish by nature, but rather that they learned to be selfish by the work and grace of the system that they themselves created. The culture of selfishness makes you immediately think that the other wants something that you have, and then a sinister loop is set up that from there have infinite iterations.

That someone invented Bitcoin signifies a singularity in the rarefied environment that created the oil-dependent growth economy. Bitcoin is going in the opposite direction, it is liberating par excellence, and marks the beginning of a new state of consciousness, which will take decades to consolidate. I am not interested in the price of the asset Bitcoin related to a debt instrument such as the dollar. I am rather interested in what Bitcoin means as a perfect monetary system, without the need for authorities for any of the things that fiat money does. We pioneers are going to really enjoy the step towards the anarchy civilization.

Thank you for reading! Decentralize yourselves as much as you can, and much more! Work for yourselves, not for others. When you work for someone else, they pay you what YOUR POSITION is worth, when you work for yourself, they pay you what YOU are worth. No one achieves financial independence by working as an employee. Live long and prosper!
