We've isolated ourselves from history, limiting our vocabulary to understand coming catastrophes. While we worship "progress," Earth has always been a blood-soaked video game map—with tribal warfare regularly killing 40% of males per generation. Population collapses occur roughly every 300 years, but the impending 21st century demographic crash will dwarf all previous ones. It's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to avoid a world population at least 50% smaller by 2100.
