My take on the study from MIT that predicts “societal collapse”
I love that there&#x27;s a &quot;technology will fix things&quot; model. This assumes we&#x27;ll discover some magical bullet, that we haven&#x27;t thought of, that will counteract erosion of topsoil, water shortages, and climate change. Another implicit assumption is that we&#x27;ll be able to move forward unilaterally with such a solution, instead of it becoming a political football until it&#x27;s too late to do anything, like climate change. A lot of modern democratic republics are about 200 years old, or less, but we keep thinking to ourselves, &quot;<i>this</i> civilization will be different&quot;.<p>I&#x27;d put money on BAU2 over CT any day of the week.
