  • And stem professionals are also violence professionals (i.e. military and cops)? STEM tends to be very specific in their knowledge base these days. Yeah, they know how to make solar panels, but do they know where to get those materials, how to mine them? Even 80 years ago, it took several teams of hundreds of scientists to figure out nuclear energy. Lose half that team of specified individuals working together and you just have an idea. And those smart individuals gained their knowledge from smart individuals before them, and same for those individuals.

    Look at Greek fire or the pyramids for examples of lost technology that 2000 years later, we still can’t figure out. Losing a scientist here or there is generally not that big of a deal, but when you can’t control how many or who goes, you lose control of the knowledge.


  • Well then I suspect you don’t see much of anything. It’s happening before your eyes and you don’t see it? Do you see genocide in Palestine? Do you see fascism in America? Do you see plastic trash in waterways? Do you see homelessness? Do you see the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? How do you not see the obvious outcome? The only reason we’re still making enough food, is because of petroleum based fertilizer. Without that, we’d have lost billions of people already, or they never would have been born in the first place. That’s unsustainable. And as society breaks down, so does the economy that allowed those fertilizers to exist. Billions die, any way you look at it, billions die and civilization crumbles. Which happens first doesn’t really matter.
