I was trying to get to something less handwavy. “Humans aren’t well-suited” isn’t it.
And anyway, your line of argument leads to the conclusion that we are just living constantly and permanently in the “post-collapse” state. Past the Golden Age, kicked out of the Garden of Eden, etc. etc.
Yeah, I can’t predict more concretely than that—the obvious paths are somewhat preventable/recoverable. My intended argument is that we’re not past the golden age, we’re in a golden age. It may be so golden that it’s the last one, or it may be just one of an very long series.

Does that imply a coming collapse? Or can the ages get more and more golden?
