[FRIAM] Limits to Growth

[Jochen Fromm]

Yes, exactly. Donella and Dennis Meadows got it right. On punch cards in 1972! The most important resource which we have exploited and exhausted world-wide is oil. Fracking delayed it a little bit, but it looks as if we are close to "peak oil" now.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oilIt is hard to believe that everything can collapse. And yet it is more and more certain it will happen, it is just unclear when and how exactly. https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=how-everything-can-collapse-a-manual-for-our-times--9781509541386The well-informed billionaires know it will happen, but instead of doing something against it they wonder how they can survive the collapse in their bunkers and hideoutshttps://rushkoff.com/books/survival-of-the-richest-escape-fantasies-of-the-tech-billionaires/-J.

Now Hackernews links to the above in which some people argue that we've achieved the predicted overshoot for the business as usual scenario and the subsequent collapse begins now.  Enjoy the peak of human technological development.-- rec --
