Why should we believe in another apocalypse prediction?
- IAmBroom 11mo agoOne of them has to be right, eventually!
- gooseus 11mo agoBecause the collapse of complex societies is real - https://github.com/danielmkarlsson/library/blob/master/Joseph%20A%20Tainter%20-%20The%20collapse%20of%20complex%20societies.pdf https://github.com/danielmkarlsson/library/blob/master/Josep... Unbounded increases in complexity lead to diminishing returns on energy investment and increased system fragility which both contribute to an increased likelihood of collapse as solutions to old problems generate new problems faster than new solutions can be created since energy that should be dedicated to new solutions is needed to maintain the layers of complexity generated by the layers of previous solutions.
