Correct, but that only means that our economy is a temporary phenomenon. Mass ecosystem collapses happen regularly whether we want it or not. Most of the past civilizations reached the graveyard due to very natural causes like 200 years long draughts.

"How to best adapt to changes" is an interesting question which I'd happily discuss. "How to prevent changes" is a meaningless question.

Those civilizations were riding camels and horses, they didn't make rockets. Very different scenarios.

Not staking a claim on either side of this debate but how exactly do those two things being different affect the outcome of the debate?
