what are you going to eat in the Knowledge Age
When complex systems collapse, you go into a dark age, not a knowledge age. You don't get an age of enlightenment from regional instability. Sometimes I think Anonymint believes you can will things into existence, but willing a new renaissance into reality amongst a bunch of dindus looting the local storefronts isn't going to happen.
I'm inclined to agree with you, r0ach. You make a lot of sense recently. The odds of a dark age happening are much higher than those of a knowledge age. Even with the latter it's difficult to imagine the physical economy shrinking significantly, we're not spirits nor electrons, we need physical stuff to be produced, and by the way women (that includes every second western woman, and 99% of women in the rest of the world) love gold bracelets. Good luck trying to change women's innate, caveman age born desires
