    Well, this has been known for decades, the Club or Rome’s report (Limits of Growth) predicted this in the 1970s. Here’s a graphic from 2004:


    We need UBI (Universal Basic Income) or people are going to not be able to afford basic commodities any more. We already see working poor, it’s gonna get worse. Demand UBI.

      And here’s the latest recalibration, done in 2023, main difference is that pollution just uses co2 level instead of a complex aggregate of pollution metrics.

      Your pictured 2004 model may be the BAU model in these charts, not 100% sure, but Recalibration23 is the latest one.

      EDIT: Looks like BAU2.

      EDIT 2: Ah, didn’t realize who I was replying to, haha. I have apparently successfully evangelized this model to you from that other thread a few days ago.

      Still useful for any other readers to see.

      Socialism or barbarism wasn’t just a catchphrase.

      Unfortinately, we chose barbarism… even if a miraculous overthrow of capitalism happened right now… I think it is about two decades to late to avoid a catastrophic collapse in standard of living and loss of life.
