The end is coming! According to a study by NASA, our civilization will collapse in the coming decades, due to mismanagement of the resources and distribution of wealth. The study is based on a new analytical object called HANDY (Human And Nature DYnamical) developed by the mathematician Safa Motesharri. Usually, I don’t believe these kind of theories about the end of the world, but when it’s NASA who conducted the study, it’s hard to not believe it. By studying the civilizations, the researchers determined why civilizations like the Roman Empire or the Mayans ended in the past, including factors such as: climate, population, water, agriculture, and energy. The researchers have also identified another reason why these civilizations have ceased to exist, one being the blindness of elite people who thought they were protected and refused to reform their way of life. According to Safa Motesharri and his collaborators, two scenarios are possible of the end of our civilization: – The first one could be caused by the reduction of poor people due to famine. Thereby, the cause of the end could show a decline of workers and not necessarily by climatic problems. – The second one could be caused by lack of resources, causing suffering to the poor before affecting the rich population. Despite this scenario which is hard to avoid, there are solutions: We need to quickly reduce the economic inequalities to ensure a fairer distribution of resources as well as significantly reduce the energy consumption by using alternatives energies and reduce growth population.

"Optimistične" prognoze iz NASA-e: Industrijsko društvo ide prema nezaustavljivom kolapsu Foto: Shutterstock NOVA studija koju je sponzorirao "NASA Goddard Space Flight Center" upozorava kako bi globalna industrijska civilizacija mogla doživjeti kolaps u narednim desetljećima zbog neodržive eksploatacije resursa i nejednake distribucije bogatstva. Studija naglašava kako se upozorenja o kolapsu doživljavaju kao kontroverzna, a sada se pokušava objasniti kako je prema povijesnim podacima vidljivo da je proces rasta i kolapsa krug koji se redovito ponavljao kroz povijest. Istraživački projekt bazirao se na novoj multidisciplinarnoj metodi "HANDY" (Human And Nature DYnamical) koju predvodi matematičar Safa Motesharri u suradnji s prirodnim i društvenim znanstvenicima. Prema povijesnim zapisima čak su i napredne, kompleksne i kreativne civilizacije podložne kolapsu, što dovodi u pitanje održivost moderne civilizacije, piše Guardian. Ovi povijesni fenomeni igrali su glavnu ulogu u procesima kolapsa posljednjih pet tisuća godina. Trenutno je razina ekonomske stratifikacije iznimno velika i povezana je s prevelikom konzumacijom resursa, a elite se uglavnom nalaze u razvijenim industrijskim zemljama. Potrebno je hitno riješiti ekonomsku nejednakost kako bi se osigurala pravedna distribucija resursa, a njihovu konzumaciju treba drastično smanjiti. Ovo je poziv za buđenje vladama, korporacijama i konzumentima i naglašava kako se strukturne promjene moraju dogoditi odmah.
