I've been wanting to do a thread on this and you gave me an excuse. Buckle in, boys! https://twitter.com/AusMoogle/status/1343115893421858816
You guys know I'm part of Collapse Gang and 2020 has certainly been a year of the kind of vindication I really didn't want to see this early.
I've been expecting something along the lines of the "Descending staircase" of the Tainter Model and 2020 seems like one of those periods where the step down is happening.
Eventually, things will hit a point where they'll stabilise and a sort of normalcy will return.
Only there'll be a bunch of stuff that just can't be done any more and we all just have to get used to that.
We're already seeing ham-handed attempts to set public expectations.

The "Great Reset" isn't so much a conspiracy theory as a pisspoor exercise in expectations management to get people to accept "Yeah we lost the capability to do these things you grew up with and we're NEVER getting it back, at least not this side of a new dark age"
It's a way to try and frame decline and pretend it isn't REALLY decline.
Expect to see a lot of overcompensation born of insecurity as elites start outright threatening anyone who notices and remarks upon the extremely obvious signs of decline.
