The Book Is Pretty Intellectual, but That's a Great Way to Put It in a Word

i want to make it clear that the book doesn't predict exact years or exact population numbers that we're going to hit when collapse happens. So i'm not going to be here telling you that exactly nine billion, 400 million people were going to collapse. That's not what it is. It's just meant to be a more general idea of the behavior of complex society for each scenario. And so this in the scenario, it was made manifest by a peak and rapid decline in g d p and food availability right at the same time.
