Comparing a modern steam turbine to a steam engine is a little bit like comparing a jet engine to a box fan.

It’s technically correct, the best kind of correct, but they are wildly different machines.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
