The problem is that with the current system falling apart that will be it for modern human civilization. I wouldn't be surprised if the technological level fell back a few hundred years.
Our civilization is too interdependent with no place being able to sustain any level of advanced technology on itself. We traded all the resilience we had for "efficiency". Our current system is very brittle and if it fails, it fails globally. Expect hundreds of millions to die if it does.
- cryptica 5y agoI disagree with this. IMO, it's just propaganda that the elites use to maintain control. Look at all the economic 'miracles' in Germany, Japan, South Korea, ... Pretty much any time a developed, highly educated country had fallen, it managed to return to even more prosperous levels than before.
