Feeling heartbroken looking at the pictures and videos of the hurricane aftermath coming out of Asheville and greater WNC

The media isn’t covering the damage there because there’s no way to get in or out, nor any cell reception right now

I’m not sure how to help from afar but if I figure out how, I’ll let y’all know

I was devastated by the WNC floods last year. Seeing the LA fires, I intellectually feel a similar sadness. But emotionally, I feel more detached since I’m less connected with the land

Perhaps we must viscerally feel the anguish of climate volatility before we can solve it. Ie. it may be a crisis of the heart, not the mind

The physical and economic damage is relatively quantifiable. The cost of the mental anguish is not.
It may be the something that weakens it... but it might also be what wakes us from our slumber and creates a more cohesive 'wartime' culture.

I always thought it would be aliens that would unite us

Jokes aside, I wonder if a "wartime" mentality will only make things worse. We might need to disconnect concerted effort from defeating something. I don't think we can "defeat" the planet

Yeah, the optimistic view is “rock bottom is the firmest place to build a foundation”

Yes we need MLK's "peace" - not the absence of conflict but the kind built by cooperation and working together on our common problems. But to your point I think we'll only get there once this current system collapses under increasing disasters and a great deal of suffering... Unfortunately... But we can work on envisioning a world of cooperation and spreading the vision.
