Nate, great podcast. I have been reading about the effects of population collapse on modern society. The best single book is “The End of the World is just the Beginning” by Peter Zeihan. He covers all continents and where they are in the slow emergency. He then covers what will happen in the world. What will happen is pretty much your Great Simplification but with a smaller population rebuilding new cultures in regions that are less grandiose in scale. You really should read the book and think about getting him on your show.
