====== Dangers of “Limits to Growth” ======


There was a study done by MIT in 1972 called the Limits to Growth, which predicted a sharp decline of society around 2040, and a 2023 paper showed that it's accurate.

|When many think of sustainability, they think of Agenda 21 which some thought focused on a one-world government, depopulation, and 15-minute cities. Agenda 21 <sup>[1]</sup> was a non-binding document depending on local, state, and federal authorities to enforce. <sup>[2]</sup>  However there was a study done by MIT in 1972 called the Limits to Growth <sup>[3]</sup>, which predicted a sharp decline of society around 2040, and a 2023 paper showed that it's accurate. <sup>[4]</sup>\\ \\ MIT World3 models focused on things like Population, Food per capita, pollution, etc. <sup>[5]</sup>  The World3 model puts these items on a curve over time.  And it’s noted by Herrington, the author of the 2023 study that civilization collapse “does not mean that humanity will cease to exist,” but rather that “economic and industrial growth will stop, and then decline, which will hurt food production and standards of living.”  The layman’s interpretation of the study is done in this blog by Herrington <sup>[6]</sup>  who believes it’s not too late to create a truly sustainable civilization that works for all.\\ \\ Having this type of information like this attracts the global elites like those that attend the World Economic Forum, who try to make deals behind closed doors impacting the world.  They discuss things in public like having the World population remove meat from their diet so they can eat bugs and own nothing. <sup>[7]</sup> It makes one wonder what's being discussed behind closed doors. An advertisement put together by the World Economic Forum designed to scare the public into buying into their Great Reset solution is listed in the bibliography. <sup>[8]</sup> And finally Glenn Beck’s “The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First-Century Fascism” delves into how the Great Reset would ruin the American way of life. <sup>[9]</sup>\\ \\ Friedrich Nietzsche is quoted as writing, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you." <sup>[10]</sup>  Fighting monsters like people whose solutions might be depopulation among other things can can make one resort to monstrous tactics, and the end of Western Civilization within 15 years is a deep abyss. \\ \\ So what’s the solution to this monster and the abyss? There is no other way for Western Civilization to be saved without the Lord, Almighty.  He can do anything.  In addition for individuals to get back to the Lord.  Consider signing the petition for the Convention of States, which focuses on implementing US Congressional term limits, implementing fiscal responsibility of the government, and reducing government overreach. Consider volunteering for the Convention of States to help with the survival of the United States of America.  It is only with the ideas and innovations of a free people living with limited government, motivated by survival that we, together can save America.\\ \\  \\ \\ **BIBLIOGRAPHY**\\ \\ [1] “United Nations Conference on Environment & Development - Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992 - AGENDA 21” //United Nations Sustainable Development.// Https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org 1992 Web. 30 Jan 2025 <[[https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/Agenda21.pdf|[1]]]>\\ \\ [2] “Focus on Agenda 21 Should Not Divert Attention from Homegrown Anti-Growth Policies” //The Heritage Foundation.// Https://www.heritage.org  1 Dec 2011 Web. 30 Jan 2025 <[[https://www.heritage.org/economic-and-property-rights/report/focus-agenda-21-should-not-divert-attention-homegrown-anti|[2]]]>\\ \\ [3] “Limits to Growth” //Amazon.// Https://www.amazon.com 2025 Web. 30 Jan 2025 <[[https://www.amazon.com/Limits-Growth-Donella-H-Meadows/dp/0451136950|[3]]]>\\ \\ [4] “MIT Predicted in 1972 That Society Will Collapse This Century.
