The "study" this is based on is paywalled and not on sci-hub.

A comment from the article:

<< "Industrial civilisation is facing 'inevitable' decline as it is replaced by what could turn out to be a far more advanced ‘postmaterialist’ civilisation based on distributed superabundant clean energy. The main challenge is that industrial civilisation is facing such rapid decline that this could derail the emergence of a new and superior 'life-cycle' for the human species", >>

I believe I recall hearing that originally, electricity generated from nuclear fission was predicted to be "too cheap to meter". The first part of this comment reminds me of that.

The "Findings" section of the linked abstract:

<< The paper develops planetary phase shift theory as a new collective forward intelligence framework for foresight study and practice, formalising the notion that humanity has arrived at an unprecedented historic and geological turning point. It finds that multiple global crises across both earth and human systems are symptoms of the last stages of the life-cycle of global industrialisation civilisation, which is the potential precursor either for collapse, or for a new civilisational life-cycle that may represent a new stage in the biological and cultural evolution of the human species.>>

This sounds like it's nonsense built on top of other nonsense.
