MIT Predicted in 1972 That Society Will Collapse This Century. New Research Shows We're on Schedule

A 1972 MIT study predicted that rapid economic growth would lead to societal collapse in the mid 21st century. A new paper shows we're unfortunately right on schedule.

A remarkable new study by a director at one of the largest accounting firms in the world has found that a famous, decades-old warning from MIT about the risk of industrial civilization collapsing appears to be accurate based on new empirical data.

As the world looks forward to a rebound in economic growth following the devastation wrought by the pandemic, the research raises urgent questions about the risks of attempting to simply return to the pre-pandemic ‘normal.’

In 1972, a team of MIT scientists got together to study the risks of civilizational collapse. Their system dynamics model published by the Club of Rome identified impending ‘limits to growth’ (LtG) that meant industrial civilization was on track to collapse sometime within the 21st century, due to overexploitation of planetary resources...

>>Oh, and we need our own Hari Seldon right now.<<

We clearly got the Mule in obozo. Nothing else but mind control would dupe as many people as that simpleton did.

Yes, most young people who died horrible deaths was before vaccines were available for them.

After getting vaccines, the immune system is not likely to go into overdrive when virus arrives. Because immune system has already been made familiar with signatures of vaccine proteins. Same thing takes place with a mild invasion of virus from which you recover.

From what I have been reading it is the over-reaction by body which causes the most harm to vital organs, especially the lungs, where covid virus invades first through respiratory passages.

Lockdowns are harmful for the same reason. You never have a chance to inhale a small dose of virus and build immunity.

You can’t guarantee that the vax would have changed a thing for them because you can’t go back in time and do a redo.

That’s just wishful thinking and proves NOTHING.

Correct, only thing guaranteed in life is death. But smart people succeed by playing the odds. Dumb people are either too dumb or too obstinate to learn there are no absolutes or guarantees in any endeavor, but chance of success are enhanced by favoring path which has better odds of success.

(Pro Tip) Get vaccinated, especially if overweight or over 50.

Nope. I’m overweight, and 51.

In less than 4 years in the US Navy I discovered that my pale a$$ was apparently not quite white (sickle cell), contracted ANUG when dental took the first 2 wisdom teeth, then some how ended up with scarlet fever - in San Diego. Then, the last 2 years, my breathing got worse and worse, and I ended up being medically discharged with 23% reduction in my lung capacity, of which the Navy has no idea how it happened.

This is all during the random shots for anthrax and other bio-chem warfare prevention shots from 1988-1992 (Gulf War 1).

So, no - I do not trust the government to give me any medicine, shots, jabs, or experimental vaccines.

I have an I Phone, so I guess it comes as part of the deal. I am sure that you can get the app for your phone, or subscribe on your computer or via your cable service.

The trailers are awesome, I am sure that they’re on ScrewTube.

Amazon wants almost $900 Dollars for that book in hardcover. Fifty Bucks for a paperback.
