Quotes by Debora MacKenzie (?)

“Human history is a long saga of people learning to harness ever-increasing amounts of energy to maintain ever more complex, ordered systems, punctuated by periodic collapses—the Romans, the Maya—when civilizations became more complex than they could maintain, with the energy and technologies they had, in the face of changing conditions. At that point, small stresses sent overstretched social systems into a rapid downward spiral, which ended with major losses of people and social organization, as one stable complex system made a rapid nonlinear descent to a less complex one. But after a setback, humanity always innovated and rebuilt, a little bigger and more complex than before.”

“As species disappear under the onslaught of deforestation or other ecosystem destruction, they at least take their pathogens with them. But in degraded ecosystems, the remaining animals can also carry more pathogens than they might in healthier surroundings, because they are stressed or hungry, and germs take advantage.”
