The entire global economy will collapse due to thermodynamics and the lack of space to grow.
>>61477998Elaborate in terms of thermodynamics
>>61478131meaning energy efficiency, entropy, and physical limits on resource use cap how far expansion can go. Once that ceiling is reached, a structural collapse becomes inevitable, because the existing financial system is built on the assumption of endless exponential growth.
>>61478162Plot twist: it happened years ago.
>>61478162You’re not wrong about entropy, but you’re shadowboxing a spreadsheet, not reality. Most of the “economy” already escaped the factory floor decades ago — it’s derivatives on derivatives on expectations. That abstraction is why we keep brute-forcing limits: speculation front-loads capital, capital funds innovation, innovation buys efficiency. Physics caps how, not whether. Collapse only happens if you assume humans stop cheating the constraints, which has literally never happened.
