Luke Kemp
Luke Kemp is a researcher and systems thinker bringing rigorous, often uncomfortable clarity to the study of civilizational collapse. As author of *Goliaths* and a scholar of historical collapse dynamics, he challenges the comforting myth that modern civilization is exempt from the patterns that have brought down complex societies throughout history. His work reframes collapse not as an anomaly, but as a recurring feature of large-scale systems—driven by inequality, ecological strain, and rigid governance structures. By grounding collapse awareness in empirical research and historical analysis, Kemp helps shift the conversation from denial and exceptionalism toward realism, preparedness, and systemic learning. His contributions align with the Planet Project’s commitment to truth-seeking, systems literacy, and consciously navigating the risks and opportunities of the Great Transition.
