It’s true that civilization is inherently brittle but those ebbs and flows logically come from things outside of human control. Eg. natural disasters, crop failures, spikes in population pressure, etc…
In no sane universe does a society (producing 10x it’s true resource demand) rubber band on the brink of destruction just because a few rich fucks need to make their high score bigger. The whole gambit of civilization is sacrificing individual flexibility for group stability, an economic system that misses that mark is antithetical.
Room temp IQ take.
