Are we witnessing the death throes of our modern civilization?
>>18034672yes. AI is the iron of our time.
Nothing ever happens. The modern society is the ultimate Too-Big-To-Fail organization. The people in power will never allow it to fail, because it failing means they lose a lot of power.

>>18034672>modern civilizationNo, just the death throes of western ''civilization''. The rest of the world will continue thriving after this cancer is dealt with.
>>18034672So long as BIGDATA continues it's very precise tracking of people and resources no abrupt, wide scale panic or desolation is going to happen. We are in a very predicted slow burn of living standards most of the world will look like some poor south Am. country
We are seeing stress signals in modern civilization, like inequality, political instability, and climate change, but it’s not inevitable that society will collapse like the Bronze Age.

>>18034672Rome didnt "collapse", its institutions remained even after Alaric spared Rome but the people werent around anymore. Truth is, America and Europe have already collapsed.
