- jacquesm 10y agoIt shouldn't overly scare you: It required a complex society to produce someone like Tainter, so it isn't proof of imminent dark ages, merely that to be able to posit a theory like this you'd have to be alive roughly now. Just like the future isn't equally distributed we're now so mobile that you could likely outrun a collapse of your society if you saw it coming. You're going to have to give up some creature comforts though, and possible more than just a few.
