“Pandora’s ‘hope’ leads to a paradox. Hope means understanding our powerlessness in a situation. It means trusting that some other individual, group or spiritual entity will take an action that we are unequipped or unprepared to take ourselves. If we knew what to do and could do it, we wouldn’t need hope.” As Prof Eliot Jacobson argues, abandoning ‘hope’ creates action. It allows for new politics and practical action that recognises the inevitability of climate-ecological collapse and works for socio-ecological justice. Don’t just collapse – #JustCollapse!
