说明

这是2012年由vlada888发布的一部课堂讲座，主题归在World history。它讲的是societal collapse这一支里的具体问题，而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成：Joseph Tainter lectures at a 2010 sustainability conference on why complex societies such as Rome collapse. His thesis is that rising complexity brings diminishing returns until societies cannot afford to maintain it.这些读者给出的理由，核心是：Recommended as the best exposition of Tainter's theory, and used to explain slowing innovation, centralization and collapse risk.讲法不绑某一条新闻，过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2015年到2023年，有5位不同的读者在5个不同月份把它推荐出来，其中明确叫别人去看的有1次。节奏接近上课，可以暂停做笔记。它假设你愿意跟着一条推导走完。如果已经会了基本定义，就把注意力放在它怎么把societal collapse变成能跟着复述的例子。
