The 14th century had its tottering structures of power, and we have our structures of power which could totter severely in the fairly near future. Will we emerge into a new age after that collapse? I don't know. It's a matter for me of how to live now, the best we can, without participating in our own destruction. And that means first removing ourselves from a lot of the social and cultural fictions that do us harm, that limit us and limit the ways in which we understand our own world.
