Advanced Computer Models Find Society is on the Brink of Collapse
Summary
Dr. Dennis Lee Foster, the projects author, said, "In addition to critical factors considered by previous studies, such as resource depletion and economic disparity, by adding present-day stresses such as religion-based terrorism, mass migration, racial division, antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms, continued nuclear and autonomous weapons development, and geopolitical strife to the equation, the probability of societal collapse before the end of the century increases dramatically.The Human Survival Index study appears to corroborate public statements made by Cambridge University theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, forecasting the end of humankind within 100 years."
