And yet, the only reasonable action to take is to flag this topic and move along with the "humanity has always found a way out, technology will save us. Remember, we were supposed to drown in horse manure!"

Why? Because candidly looking at those risks as a society means deep collective existential dread, which automatically means an immediate civilizational collapse.

So I'm guessing some of our elite is actually ignorant and the other part is willfully shutting the hell up on this subject to let our civilization run on fumes a few more years.

It's unfortunate because a rapid civilizational collapse could give humanity as a species a better chance of survival.
