Club of Rome / BAU2

ENGINE AHEAD — World3 BAU2 has tracked empirical reality for 50+ years (Turner 2008, Herrington 2020). Pollution, not resources, is the kill variable. 2025 data confirms: microplastics degrading soil carbon (21-576% CO2 increase), PFAS €440B cost, 6/9 planetary boundaries breached, 69% wildlife decline since 1970. Neoclassical economics dismissed the model for decades because growth limits threaten GDP measurement, corporate valuations, pension systems, and the entire fiat architecture. The institutional network (Peccei/Fiat, King/OECD, Rockefeller Foundation, WEF/Bilderberg/Trilateral overlap) means the model is both genuine warning AND managed disclosure (BST synthesis). Crowd sees "debunked 1970s prediction." Engine sees the most validated collapse model in existence, produced by the centralized power structure's own managerial class.
