Well you asked kindly.
I don’t want to have a conversation about this, but if you study a little bit of (ancient) history, sociobiology, look at when our currencies became decoupled from gold standards, then take in the climate data, and our real economic data (not quarter returns of silicon valley, but real metric tons of food produced, how that supply chain works and how it is already being affected by climate change), then figure out where you are on the food order list, and how close you are to sea level. People in Sudan are already experiencing what will come to most of Europe in the next 1 maybe 2 decades. There is so much more to this, but you need a serious stomach to digest it all. I went through it once, and I wouldn’t recommend it, hence my reluctance to share or encourage people to go on this journey.
The most important part is: we really don’t understand much of how complex the myriad of systems that are keeping us at this very nice level of living way above our means. But we do know everything is connected, and through Earth System Science we know that the collapse of a few pillars will cascade into other areas.
Just writing it I can sense how you will push back that that’s not specific enough, and that’s fair, but the full picture took me many years, and I couldn’t point to a single piece of literature or data for you. If you want to know, you’ll find it.
Also be mindful that this isn’t just a knowledge change, but a change to your belief system as well.
But somewhere I think you do know or you wouldn’t respond like that.
We have never in the recorded history of this planet have had an economy that is so vastly disconnected from the resource reality below it. We have never had so much poverty, poor education, healthcare for the lower classes against such an over the top wealth for the few billionaires. We have never been with this many mouths to feed. Most of us are now living in a world with 2 to 3 times as many people than when we were born. Housing and healthy food production did not scale at the same level. There are now more armed conflicts happening simultaneously than ever before. While that is all going on, the climate and our environment are basically done.
- CO2: 427.49 ppm (Dec 2025); May 2025 peak 430.5 ppm — first time exceeding 430 ppm. Rate: +3.75 ppm/yr, ACCELERATING (+0.160 ppm/yr²)
- Temperature: +1.34°C (2025, 3rd warmest). Three-year avg 2023-2025 exceeds 1.5°C for the first time
- Sea level rise: 4.5 mm/yr — doubled since 1993. Acceleration: 0.077 mm/yr²
- Carbon budget (1.5°C): ~170 Gt CO2 remaining (~4 years at current rate). Effective budget tighter due to overestimated CO2 fertilisation
- Planetary boundaries: 7 of 9 transgressed — ocean acidification confirmed as 7th (Planetary Health Check 2025)
- First tipping point crossed: Warm-water coral reefs at 1.4°C (irreversible)
- Ocean heat: 23 ZJ absorbed in 2025 (record, 9th consecutive)
- Fossil emissions: 38.1 GtCO2 in 2025 (new record, +1.1%)
- WAIS collapse precursor detected — all model ensembles show Thwaites/Pine Island collapse
- Methane: 1940.59 ppb (Sep 2025) — decelerating from post-2020 surge
I want to believe in positive human collaboration. But absent a miracle and aliens landing with tech far beyond our reach or understanding, these changes are locked in. If we locked down the entire planet and froze the economy tomorrow, these metrics would not change by much.
Most people on this platform will not grow as old as their parents are today.
Enjoy your life, this amazing planet with so many wonders and beautiful people. Create close knit small communities. If you survive, it will be back to basics. Assuming you live in US/Europe, you might have another 10-20 years of relatively good life, though that might be optimistic.

I don’t want to be treated seriously on this platform about that subject.
If you’re curious you can find it but it won’t be thrown in your lap, as people would simply stop working/paying taxes or have children or fight the elites wars for them if the collapse data becomes widespread knowledge.
But as I said, there is nothing serious about this, and the best advice I can give is to simply enjoy life and appreciate precious moments with loved ones.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 2 days ago:
I highly recommend staying ignorant honestly. It’s a much lighter burden to carry than seeing all the datapoints and seeing the collapse as a certainty. Have a good life, seriously.
- Comment on The RAM shortage is coming for everything you care about 2 days ago:
Too late for that I’m afraid. It already happened. It just takes a while before the [citation needed] folks understand that past performance is not a guarantee for future success.

It’s about to. The very nature of it, means you can only have a sample size of one.

Little bit dataisincomplete.
With the ice ages and the rising and falling of continents, this is kind of incomplete due to the lack of deep sea bathymetry. Not to mention the straight up ice impact or ocean impacts we could have had. If the world was always roughy 70% water, then this represents far less than half of all the impacts, and many of them would have been insane tsunamis.
A bunch of much older ones could have formed the current Black Sea or Gulf of

Can you post that to the cross posted OP too?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Not sure. At this point it looks like it might have to be the people. But don’t underestimate TACO either. He’s extraordinary selfish and will cannibalise anything just to remain free.

This. Don’t forget how uncultured civil action is in the US. They literally replaced it by 2A. Buy a gun and ammo, and you never have to protest. A one day general strike would bring awareness to the OPTION of civil action to way more than we care to admit.

- Comment on Ideas for a better Lemmy experience 4 weeks ago:
Ok, let’s take this a notch further then.
These are not just users having a bad day. In some cases these are repeat offenders or agitators who have been banned but want to come back.
There’s already a higher barrier to entry on a lot of instances. Back when I made this account, I had to apply for it, and it had to be manually approved.
On my OTHER hand, there is IMHO a problem with overactive mods on the larger communities. I’m seeing the same mods modding several 1k+ subscriber communities with very high activity, and they are supper trigger happy with permabans. Permabans without warning, without prior tempban, straight up permaban. This will drive a bunch of people mad and drive them to create new accounts on a different instance just to bypass the ban.
This in turn is causing inflation in the new signups too.
But a delay in being able to comment / post for new users would prevent ban-evasion, but equally, I would much prefer that mods can’t be getting such batshit workloads as volunteers making them more likely to be compassionate and not instantly go for nuclear options at the slightest sign of trouble.
It’s not straightforward of course, but I do appreciate the discourse we’re having here.

Each comment questioning this assume trolls are from all well funder st petersburg troll farms, I’d wager quite a few may be reactionary basement neckbeards who wouldn’t post the same stuff a day later.
