This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

The idea that number must always go up needs to go out of fashion. There’s nothing wrong with a steady-state business. Not to mention, infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is literally impossible.
Nah, keep whipping that horse till it stops spitting out money. /s
