*Immoderate Greatness* explains how a civilization's very magnitude
conspires against it to cause downfall. Civilizations are
hard-wired for self-destruction. They travel an arc from initial
success to terminal decay and ultimate collapse due to intrinsic,
inescapable biophysical limits combined with an inexorable trend
toward moral decay and practical failure. Because our own
civilization is global, its collapse will also be global, as well
as uniquely devastating owing to the immensity of its population,
complexity, and consumption. To avoid the common fate of all past
civilizations will require a radical change in our ethos-to wit,
the deliberate renunciation of greatness-lest we precipitate a dark
age in which the arts and adornments of civilization are partially
or completely lost.
