    Society is going to collapse anyway, the question is, how hard and how badly. The whole idea behind “not sustainable” is that it is not possible to sustain something. I personally rather hit the brakes than accelerate before hitting the wall.

      The whole idea behind “not sustainable” is that it is not possible to sustain something.

      -1 That is not “the idea!”, that is the definition. A recursive one at that.
      -2 That doesn’t really follow from either your or OPs comments. What is not sustainable? The economy, society, global trade? Did you delete a sentence?

      I think your comment makes more sense if I was arguing for people to counteract population decline. I am not. I was simply pointing out that it won’t be sunshine and rainbows as OP and many commenters here seem to believe.
