lihmalahmalehma@suppo.fi 3 weeks agojust dont read into any scienctific projections, history, geopolitics, economics, human psychology, basic math,
Just like those who predicted the certain collapse that takes place before this millenium?
We have a problem? Yea no shit. Will everyone die soon™? Somehow these predictions always get postponed.

its not an overnight thing, so “soon” is relative. soon as in the next 4 to 8 generations based on 25 year increments. each one having a lower quality of life than the last. if so. yes, its “soon” and thats based on whether or not we kill ourselves first with nukes or can properly adapt the masses to a new way of living in that world.
also which collapse prediction specifically are you talking about? the rome accords? Y2K? the ozone layer? something like that?
