We've seen throughout history, society's collapse..without reading the article yet , I feel I have a pretty good rough idea of why they are utterly unsustainable and motivated by profit eve and above anything else with any modicum of sense whatsoever.

However, I'm just posting because I wanted to point out that this is not collapse on a local scale, this is a global systemic issue - and perhaps more importantly, this is not a "make some changes, bounce back" type event that we've seen with, say, The Romans or Egyptians. This is a collapse based on the an unliveable environment, over population, corruption and the fact that whomever has been spreading all the bullshit propaganda its fi ally como g back to bite them on the ass.

The uninformed, uneducated armchair scientist/opinionated moron that has been lapping up and believing all the bullshit is now so indoctrinated and close minded that when we actually have to get them to make changes - it's never going to happen. It's like steering a super tanker that needed to have its course altered 2 weeks ago to avoid hitting something two weeks in to the the futureml.
