So, I feel that the dawn of the Collapse is very near, since things just happen faster in this age. Then, of course, the re-birth will occur just as rapidly. Hopefully in an Onuissance sort of way.

And if all farmers still used the two-mule-teams to farm, there would much more starvation in the world. It's kinda a "Damned if you do and damned if you don't" type situation. I.e. die of pollution poisoning or die of starvation.
