Did the factor in AI? If not, his extrapolations are unrealistic. Albeit maybe in regard to the speed of predicted collapse, or that of extraordinary powers which mitigate collapse.
IMO, the tipping of the survivability scales (AI nws) will be human nature as such relates to Religion (God/Self Aware Universal Energy Reservoir as Creator vs a Nature-based Perceptive Paradigm via Randomness.
And Ideology, I.e., Darwinian merit/survival and prosperity of the 'fittest' vs Marxist/Egalitarian 'morality' in regard to the governance of human interaction.
The struggle to determine which of the two above Principles hold complex systematic 'Government' power can cut that 25 in half, given the rate of dysfunction and the extraordinary influence of AI as well. Trans-Humans may not need to eat. Likely whatever is piloting those UFOs don't either, as the ones that have been seen back in '96 didn't have a mouth.
There are a lot of variables in these predictions. But one thing is for sure...such being BIG CHANGES are in the cards. For good or bad.

I think where some folks might perhaps go wrong sometimes is allowing themselves to become “triggered” enough by something that they shouldn’t have let do so, but once that threshold has been crossed then they have to go over the top even more so than the original “triggering” party. I guess you could think of it as throwing good money after bad.
Now this may not be the case across the board, and of course it isn’t (it’s quite possibly not the case at all, ever), but it sure seems to be in many cases, to this reader anyway.

Tell you what’s even scarier - it either will or it won’t in the next year. Stop and think about that. Or don’t. You either will or you won’t. Lol

If that's a response to my saying that people have misread my posts. Okay, understand you.
But the moment I came in and said paxton was gonna lose, people were calling me a liberal which doesn't really offend me,i enjoy rustling jimmies
I like having fun with it, but there is no rational discourse on this board, this is not the Oxford debate society.
This is where a bunch of people yell political things at each other
And when someone will have a rational dialogue with me, I respond in kind

I am afriad that he might be correct...
First of all. we zoomed to 7 Billion people.. if they all had 2 babies and they had two babies... That is ??(7x2=14x2=28x2=56
56 Billion people in 40 years.
The old road I grew up on had 3 houses on it in 1970.. It has about 25 today.
How long did it take for us to wipe out the Buffulo???... There were millions and we did it in how many years...
Also... Just 70 years ago.. Everybody still had cows, chickens, and gardens... There was not a taco bell in sight... Now today people would not know how to grow a pea, much less can one...
And if we sling a few Nuclear missles at each other for a few months???
Yes... It's a very good possability... If I in Vegas, I'd lay $100 on us being wiped out in 50 years.

That will raise SES/SOL to a point where birth rates decline.
The question is what happens when the global population rates are all below replacement rates and what that will do

We produce more than enough food for the world.
The problem is spoilage. Not everywhere has refrigeration. That takes electricity.
Another huge problem is the aid we give. It's creating lazy people that won't grow their own food.

Gotta love the 50-50 prediction. Really laying it all on the line there bud.

Maybe don’t shut down so many farms and make it hard for farmers to do their thing.
