      All jokes aside, I have a pet theory that the desert belt highlighted in this picture is manmade: agricultural stagnation leading to desertification, wiping out some very ancient human civilization which left no other tracespic.twitter.com/5JiQ8PYBYP

      It's not a very serious pet theory but it ties into my other pet theory that human civilization has gone thru several cycles of firing up to full industrial capacity and decaying to primitive hunting/gathering over the course of tens of thousands of years

      I've thought about this It seems unlikely that we could find traces of v fragile Neolithic tools but not traces of nuclear power plants or skyscrapers; concrete is pretty innert and recognizable

      we found traces of the stuff nobody wanted--anything of slightly more value would be reused

      Still, even in a perfect recycling society there's still be structures left over after a collapse. Difficult to postulate a slow spin-down of this society that simultaneously recycled at perfect efficiency

      for sure--like I said, it's not a very serious theory. my counter on this point is "well maybe these past societies used way more biodegradable materials and were based in more tropical, decay-prone places" but that leaves open the question of what made them industrial, exactly

      I like the idea mostly because it's sort of an existential cushion; if it were true we might be able to learn a little bit about civilization, not just be groping in the dark. But we are, societally, we're just bumping along, trying to get by as best we can

      not sure I see how it's an existential cushion--on the contrary it suggests that as far as we've come we could easily relapse to scratching out a living from the woods

          Yeah but the multiple civ cycles implies there's a knowable pattern; existential angst is about being in the unknown, not being in bad circumstances as long as you know why and how you got there
