Interesting! Young adults are comfortable today. There’s infrastructure to support them. Would society survive with suddenly less efficient processes? Everyone needs to pay rent/food/products, but modern transport and manufacturing are suddenly not useable. So, how to source items to do work/survive? I’m sure one solution would be to relocate. Some cities/societies exist with less efficient processes.
- notanzaiiswear 5y agoFor starters, modern food production relies on fertilizers produced with fossil fuels. See "the green revolution": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Revolution quote: "associated with chemical fertilizers, agrochemicals, and controlled water-supply (usually involving irrigation) and newer methods of cultivation, including mechanization" Billions of people are only alive today because of that.
