I’m interested in your views on societal effects and the proximate causes for them. Obviously the society we live in today has a lot of striking differences from Mayan and Incan - not least of which is the global connectivity and interdependence. I would think that makes us more fragile rather than less, but I’m no sociologist; maybe it also makes us more robust in ways I have yet to perceive.
(Time to go re-read Jared Diamond, too, probably.)
