What is Reddit's opinion of Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the Anthropocene?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

My personal approach to facing the future has been to look into indigenous practices with the earth. Indigenous people are living in a post-apocalyptic world from what their ancestors faced, so they have a lot to teach us about living on thru mass destruction. I'd recommend checking out the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Another thing that helped me was watching the film Symbiotic Earth, about the microbiologist Lynn Margulis. This film helped me see the world less from an anthropocentric perspective, and though it may seem depressing I've found it helpful to see our own self-destruction as simply a form of nature rebalancing itself. The miracle of that truth is quite inspiring to me, and nothing we humans do will ever fully eradicate the magic of life on this planet. I take solace in the fact that nature will always rebuild, with or without us. The film also goes into detail about humans as microbiomes and communities of microorganisms - which has helped me think about us less as individuals and more as environments just like the ones we find ourselves in at the human level. I think philosophically this is important to grasping a bigger picture of what's going on, and can help counter-balance the current picture being portrayed by media and the internet.

If you're still interested in reading - and since you have a background in science - I'd also recommend Arts of Living On a Damaged Planet. It's an anthology of essays written by scientists on the topic of climate collapse, and covers a lot of more imaginative ground than a scientific paper normally would.
