Not giving an opinion on the model itself, I do find it interesting how many of these cultural narratives of collapse and Armageddon are almost directly from older religious traditions. Specifically, Christianity in the Western World. The parallels become increasingly obvious if you dig deeper into the theology; everything is present, from climate “sinners” to apocalyptic scenarios in which everything collapses into a ball of fire, unless we repent and change our ways. Again, not saying that these predictions are wrong or overly inaccurate. But even if many people in the Western world are not “religious” today, they inevitably seem to fall into these same thought patterns. I have noticed that this approach is not shared by many other non-Western countries, who absolutely recognize the dangers facing global society from climate, political polarization, etc. yet lack the “apocalypse” culture points. I worry if Western culture has a self-reinforcing obsession with the collapse narrative, to its own detriment.
