A study on the structure of societal collapse in the context of changes in complexity and the declining marginal return-on-investment of complex civilizations
Fascinating essay, I do believe we're declining in terms of this Faustian Period, though I wonder if maybe it can be arrested at the national level rather than entering into the city-state. I mean might it not be possible for some nations such as Japan or France to remain as they are in some capacity?
DO YOU HAVE THE SHEET OF PAPER, DO YOU HAVE IT? YOU'RE NOT A CREDENTIALED EXPERT. YOU NEED CREDENTIALS! BETTER HAVE THAT SHEET OF PAPER! PAY FOR IT. I'M SO OLD IT WAS A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS, BUT YOU SHOULD PAY THOUSANDS. BE CREDNTIALED. UNLESS YOU HAVE THE DIPLOMA PAPER YOU MUST BE STUPID!
Progressives are tiresome. Small-minded bigots the lot of them.

I don't know. I suspect it'll be arrested at the sub-national level. So the scale of "states" and "provinces" acting as partially untethered entities.
Hmm, good point hopefully it’ll put an end to the modern-state kleptocratic tendencies and see nations return to what they were always meant to be.
