While technology makes life easier, it also fuels a growing crisis: we’ve stopped moving, and obesity has become a more pressing threat than geopolitical tensions. Parallels with the Fall of Rome The Roman Empire didn’t just collapse because of its vast expansion but also because of civilization’s comforts and growing laziness.
