Well, if we do end up in a TEC (Total Economic Collapse) then at least we would have found a sustainable society! If we wipe out a few Gppl and end up in the Stone Age we can sustain that.
I find it interesting that the more we try to maintain our current socioeconomic system the more likely we will fall back to a more primitive way of life. However, if we were to start to realise that our current system has a fundamental unattainable nature to it then we can start to think about what kind of socioeconomic system we could have and how such a system would have a sustainable nature. In some ways, people have been making moves towards such a society.
