JMG - Stange Days Dawning - 3:3:21

Michael Dowd died October 2023. This soundcloud list is a substantial part of his legacy. Here he shares, via his voice, the major books, blogs, and other texts that instructed his own worldview shift into recognizing the multiple causes of the civilizational collapse underway and wisdom for moving into a postdoom perspective of clarity, calm, and compassionate love-in-action. As a Postdoom pastor, Michael aimed to support others in deeply adapting to abrupt climate change and societal and ecological breakdowns.
