Declining fossil-fuel EROI, accelerating automation, and the fiscal collapse of labour-based states are making demographic contraction the inevitable correction of a system that over-invested in people during a brief energy windfall. This essay outlines the institutional form suited to an era of biophysical limits and machine abundance: the <strong>Sovereign Neganthropic Economy</strong>. It advocates deliberate transition toward smaller, debt-free, high-technology polities that publicly own robotic and algorithmic capital, issue money against energy surplus rather than future growth, and redirect human time from wage-labour to entropy-reducing activities (care, research, restoration). The argument confronts the political agency required, the uncertainty of full automation, and the dangerous global consequences of unmanaged contraction in the ageing Core.</span></p> |
