It seems like there will be severe engineered energy and food shortages over the next years. The globalist system is a rube goldberg contraption with many weaknesses, but it has become the dominant economic system. It can easily be weaponized to cause mass slaughter. It's happened before. Millions have died in prior famines around the world.
At the same time the system falls apart and fails to deliver necessities, it provides abundant absurdities: transhumanism, hyper expensive LEO internet satellite networks to provide internet to "the poor", EVs, genetically modified organisms, a faulty biotech cure for colds and flu, cryptocurrency, etc... A plethora of frivolous technological geegaws pop into existence everyday.
This has happened before in the 1920s and 1930s. The Weimar Republic was a fountain of stupid, implausible inventions and schemes, for example. I think it's exemplified by the propeller train.
The propeller train "worked" kind of, but the propeller would blow up sometimes. The idea of running a large propeller in a train depot has obvious potential problems, but there was enough money--in a country that was impoverished and destroyed by WWI--to build a completely useless thing.
It's really interesting that countries often lack the ability to maintain their infrastructure and invest in communities, but can launch stupid, useless wars abroad, or can invest in dumb tech projects. This nonsense is often paired with culture war nonsense and social insanity.
