Anticipating Collapse
Preparing for Collapse
Collapse is coming. Collapse of exactly what? The U.S. dollar? Agro-industrialism? Civilization itself? Ecological environment? Is it already here?
This discussion group will explore these possibilities and more in an attempt to understand the impending feeling of a fore-coming collapse. Many communities anticipate some sort of rupture to this current state of culture/society. What will this look like? What perspectives are worth considering when attempting to understand the nature of collapse?
A great attempt will be made to keep meetings from becoming alarmist or conspiratorial. This is an opportunity to mingle in many perspectives of collapse. People who are primarily interested in propagating their own vision without space for others are not welcome. This is a sincere effort to understand the nature of collapse to give solid ground to any efforts of preparation. Once a semi-solid understanding of collapse is reached, discussion on preparation will be held. The intention of this group is to be productive in moving forward towards preparation.
Expect meetings weekly during the month of October.

Understanding your Personality by combining Myers-Briggs Type Indiator with Eight Archetypes
We will apply the Myers-Briggs Type Incator [MBTI] (will be administered in first class) with eight archetypes that influence our personality. MBTI is a personality inventory to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful. It answers four questions:
How do you direct your energy and attention?
How do you prefer to take in information?
How do you prefer to make decisions?
How do you orient to the outer world?
We will be examing these archetypes:
Conscious Archetypes
First - Hero or Heroine - Powerful, effortless energy
Second - Good Parent - Protective, nurturing
Third - Puer/Puella - Playful and passionate
Fourth - Anima/Animus - Inferiority complex and idealization complex
Unconscious Archetypes
Fifth - Opposing Personality - Resistance and denial
Sixth - Witch/Senex - Internal and external critic
Seventh - Trickster - Deceptive saboteur
Eighth - Demon/Daemon - Source of despair and hope

School Choice, Charter Schools, and Minneapolis: Exploring the Privatization and Marketization of Schooling in Our City
The class will be a majority reading and discussion group with the potential to get involved in some education activism, through our class or through other projects that are already in the works in the area. I will have interesting and relevant readings prepared. However, the class will be a project of all involved and all will have a say in what we read, discuss, and do together.
We will work together to understand how the impact of school privatization via charter or contract schools, and other trends and policies that seek to transform public education to align with neoliberal and free market ideologies. We will discuss how this transformation benefits/negatively impacts different groups of people in the cities, the possibilities for radical change in the way we think about educating young people, and the relevance of the public school system in its current form to our daily lives and desires. There are many ways we can explore these issues including but not limited to:
- privatization and the increasing role of philanthropy in public education
- the commercialization of schooling and students and parents as consumers
- the increasing hierarchization of public schooling (i.e. magnet schools) and unequal distribution of resources
This is an ambitious class with many fruitful directions to take - directions that we can decide on as a group based on our collective interests.
