    i agree, this is less about civilization collapse and more about poor resource management. toss in a little wilful ignorance on the problem solving of humans, and you end up with this doom and gloom stuff. feels like ive been readin this crap my entire life (ozone!)

    its proven mature societies populations stabilize, and resource management is just humans not being dicks to each other (a notable roadblock).

    i think there will be societal shrinkage, but it aint constanza just-out-of-the-pool shrinkage. certainly not a collapse
