This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

That's not whet the user was saying, he was just giving an example of landmass proportional to a population to explain that mass displacement isn't an issue of space.

Obviously there are other challenges, and he's not even giving a solution, just a comparison of space.

But land area hasn't been a thing since the industrial revolution. The wealth of most nations isn't dependent on sustenance farming.
