Modernity is too hard for H. sapiens, and I predict we won’t be able to maintain it.

We make progress, then we fall back…we already had the dark Ages and the Renaissance, I expect the cycle to continue.

I have a pessimistic view of the near future. I fear that we have grown too dysfunctinal to face a real crisis, and any major strain on our ability to make sound judgements and react to a catastrophe will plunge us backwards again, and we will spend decades/centuries recovering from it.
