   it's funny to make jokes about unlocking the next level of the tech tree but on reflection, with a modification, it's not a totally terrible way of thinking about things
   
   the modification is after awhile, you lose the technology the *previous* nodes offered. the conditions to support them no longer exist, nobody is trained in them, nobody can do them
   
   so when the conditions to support your current high tech node also fail, you don't get to fall back to earlier technology. you just have nothing at all
   
   generally, the deeper you go in the tech tree the more dependencies there are, and any one of them failing can be crippling. you're becoming more fragile as you advance, not more robust, trading redundancy and independence for efficiency
   
   it's not like things have to happen that way. we could build in contingencies and backups. but we don't

     @TeaTootler @deprecated_ii You're probably remembering it wrong. It's more on the lines of John Michael Greer, basically Supply Chain breakdown, shit slowly breaking down and scavenging for parts.
     
     There is no need to predict or have a perfect model of the collapse to put in place countermeasures.

     @deprecated_ii I think about this a lot. The incentives are all fucked up.
     
     Governments should be thinking about and preparing redundant systems, but too busy worshipping Africans
