      @mwiik Civilization centers are near the ocean, worsening impact of rising sea levels, true. But it's also a slow & predictable-ish process.

      @mwiik It seems it's basically a race between energy tech and time. It will be messy, but my bet is on the former, given innovation trends.

      .@mwiik Isn't power decentralizing? Internet, Linux, solar power, 3d printing, bitcoin, etc. Main barriers to entry are knowledge & health.

      .@mwiik Health and access to knowledge are both improving worldwide. That suggests that the decentralization trend will continue.

      .@mwiik All of the dystopian scenarios at https://www.jacobinmag.com/2011/12/four-futures/ … assume consolidation of power due to tech, the opposite of current trends.

      @mwiik As a concluding thought for now: I agree we'll see the "destruction of civilization" but it will likely be a "creative destruction."

          @paulbaumgart For example, I can see a need for material reduction (austerity), but it could be accompanied by freeing of digital content.
