AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on concerns about the potential for a severe economic downturn to lead to societal collapse and anarchy, reminiscent of the Dark Ages. Participants debate the current state of the economy, referencing low GDP levels similar to those in 2007, and express skepticism about the likelihood of civilization ending due to economic factors alone. Some argue that while economic inequality is rising, historical precedents suggest that society can endure significant challenges, including climate change. Others highlight the importance of understanding the complexities of wealth distribution and the historical context of societal decline. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of pessimism and optimism regarding the future of global economies and their impact on civilization.

The recession and all that maybe quite bad but i think you would need something a lot bigger than a recession to send us back to the dark ages, if the govermental system changed due to the recession then maybe, but this would take some time. Besides you can get out of a if you put in charge the right people. For example during the great depression Germany was definately the one country that got hit worst. The country was litrally in ruins. Inflation rose so high that between 1918 and November 1923, a loaf of bread which had previously cost two thirds of a mark (German currency) had risen to cost 201 billion marks!

I do not agree with the Nazi's views but you got to admit that to go from that to taking over most of europe within a few shorts years is very impressive. If i were incharge and i had to stop/recover from the recession i would learn from history and copy how the Germany regained its economic stance (Aslong as it's fair).
