Conditions

How much time do we have left? You can't tell, says W. The conditions for the disaster are here, they're omnipresent, but when will it actually come? He reads book after book on the oil crisis and the climate crisis. He reads about hedge funds and the futures market. The conditions for the end are here, but not the end itself, not yet.

Are we part of those conditions?, W. wonders. Are we part of the conditions of the collapse? He suspects so, he says. In some important way, it's all our fault. The mirror is broken, but what do the fragments reflect?, W. says, quoting some Bergman character. - 'You', W. says. 'Your stupidity. Your immense ugly face'.
