A grim MIT study from 1972 predicted that society will collapse by the mid 21st century, prompting criticism and generating debates. It turns out the study was right on the money, and we as a collective are indeed on track to such a future scenario. A new paper revisited the MIT study and found that societal collapse is indeed on the table. We can still change, and the future isn’t final. Even in a worst-case scenario, humanity won’t cease to exist come 2040. But the world might go through more challenging times if the prediction comes true.
