And this is how Nature balances out a high tech sapient animal that's gone out of control.
There goes a potential technologist into the scrap heap of a useless existence. When the Western technological web falls, so will the rest of the species.

The thing that scares me the most is that if humanity descends into another technological dark age, recovery may well be literally impossible due to most of the easily accessible fuel resources having already been consumed.
It will be literally millions of years before major deposits of coal, oil and gas resources form close enough to the surface to be accessible without serious insustrial machinery, meaning that if humanity fumbles back to a pre-industrial (or frankly, even just early-industrial) level, that's it. Game over, our species dies on this planet because there's literally no way off it.
Then for anyone smart enough to understand the importance of our species' survival, we really don't have much time to get the hell off this rock. I don't think the madness will stop without the crash of everything.
Then again, I do wonder if we could even escape the planet without the insanity being brought along for the ride, at this point.
I also expect a bit of the beginning of Homeworld: when Elon launches the first Starship to Mars, i full expect there to be SJWs protesting in the flame trenches.

Pfhahaha, absolutely not.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is probably fucking prophetic in that regard.
Hmm ?

People have proposed solutions to this problem, if we had the force of will to implement them.
