    If it makes you feel better, the planet is in a climate feedback loop right now and the worldwide ecosystem is in complete collapse, and will get exponentially worse in our lifetimes, causing worldwide conflict over water, arable land, and livable area, and everyone is just pretending it’s not going to happen

    After the collapse, it will not be possible to regain access to modern tech trees because all the resources close to the surface were mined away 200 years ago, and we would lack the engineering base and industrial capability to manufacture the tools needed to reach those resources, not to mention those resources would be needed to develop those precursors anyway

    We will return to monke. No credit scores. No power plants. No smartphones. Just farmers.
