How to respond to societal collapse | Sarah Wilson | TEDxSydney

Science and modelling shows our civilisation is in existential collapse, but what if this terrifying reality is the prod that humanity needs to live fully and in attainment again? In this provocative talk, international best-selling author and journalist Sarah Wilson explores the upside of losing what we’ve been taking for granted.
