A hundred years ago, Oswald Spengler warned that Western man would be devoured by his own machines.In Man and Technics, he offered no solution—only the grim dignity of decline.

But what if he was only half right?

In this first episode of Beyond Collapse, Swedish writer and organizer Dan Eriksson explores Spengler’s most dangerous book—and asks what it means to face the age of AI, automation, and civilizational exhaustion not with despair… but with strategy.

This is not a call to nostalgia.It’s a call to mastery.

This is the first episode of Beyond Collapse.Each episode explores deep questions of survival, identity, and meaning in an age of decline—from the philosophy of technology to the future of nationhood.
