  • The weapons available today range from biological agents to nuclear weapons.
  • People produce food and essential goods in an increasingly specialized manner. Climate change may damage our ability to return to simple farming practices.

With all the advances, any collapse could result in an existential risk. But we will only collapse if we advance blindly and are unwilling to look at the past.
