This opinion piece on the Salt Lake Tribune discusses a mathematical model that predicts the collapse of societies. The author references a study by mathematician Safa Motesharrei, who developed a mathematical model that analyzes the factors leading to civilizational collapse. The model suggests that societies collapse when they reach a point of overexploitation and decline in available resources. The author points out that this mathematical model brings attention to the urgency of addressing environmental, social, and economic issues to prevent the collapse of our own society. The article serves as a cautionary reminder of the consequences of unsustainable practices.
