Yeah, this person offers nothing but condescension. Immediate downvote.
BTW, Dark Ages 1.0 wasn't even the first time humanity has been through a dark age...
...honestly, it pays to study history to start understanding what's headed our way.
We've been here before.
If there’s anything to learn from history it’s that things might suck but they will probably be relatively ok. Hell the Black Death didn’t doom western civilization and it got really bad.
PS: 500-1500 actually saw a great deal of innovation and improvements to the average persons quality of live compared to the heights of Rome. For a direct competition both total steel production and steel production per person dramatically increased. Socially peasants where dramatically better off than Roman slaves etc.
In relative terms, lower estimates of the fatalities between 1347-1351 are 30% of the population of Europe. So on a global level we would be looking at more than 2 billion dead in 4 years to get a sense of what that must have been like. 100 million dead in the US alone. That's staggering to think about, and it's no wonder that the pandemic left such an indelible mark on Europe.
You're not going to convince people of your cause by calling them ignorant. Jesus.
