Ep 207 | Civilization Will Collapse in 2040 (According to a Computer)

from TIMpactful Topics with Tim Messer · host Tim Messer

In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I dive into the chilling 1970's computer simulation from MIT that predicted the collapse of civilization by 2040 if humanity doesn't change its ways. From the Club of Rome's "Limits to Growth" study to modern researchers saying we're still on track, the episode explores that "collapse" might really mean - not just environmentally, but morally and spiritually. I continue with a Christian perspective, reminding listeners that while human systems may fail, God's kingdom never does - and that the real end of civilization might just be the end of trying to live without Him. I follow that with a short round of That Would Be Great and I close by talking a little sports - the World Series, Shohei Ohtani, and a horrendous performance by Bronny James. #clubofrome#mit#limitstogrowth#2040collapse#thatwouldbegreat#shoheiohtani#timpactfultopicspodcast
