Why You Should Listen

They told us the future would save us. That progress was inevitable, that AI would fix what human error broke, and that billionaires with rocket ships and startups were somehow modern prophets. But what happens when the myth of progress turns into a business model for collapse?

This week’s Chronicles of Collapse unpacks one of the oldest cautionary tales—Icarus—and brings it flaming into the present.

We’re not just flying too close to the sun.
We’re livestreaming it.
We’re monetizing it.
We’re calling it freedom.

This isn’t just about tech overreach or climate denial. It’s about the merger of delusion and power, and how MAGA helped build the launchpad.

If you’ve ever felt like the fall isn’t coming, it’s already here—this one's for you.
