>>13585635We live on a finite planet with finite resources. We have overshot our carrying capacity and the issue is not with technology but resources. We do not have enough water, food, good soil, and energy to support our current population. Technology is all well and good but it cant create more non-renewable resources out of thin air.
The main reasons for near term socital collapse:
-severe global warming
-EROI declining to zero for oil
-Running out of potable water
-declining agriculture output
-catabolic collapse
Essentially we have created an economic and social/political system that is predicated on infinite growth. once that growth stops we are fucked. timeframe for this is within decades imo
