Nuclear fission is real. Nuclear power plants create electricity by carefully modulating fission to create enough heat to turn water into steam which then spins turbines.
Nuclear bombs use the same fission process at an unrestrained, "all at once" level. The difference is exactly like the difference between starting a fire (slow release of heat) or setting off some dynamite (boom).
Next time some one posits that idea; ask them three things:
Exactly how much electricity is too much?
How exactly would too much electricity collapse civilization? What is the mechanism at play?
How is the assertion that too much power usage is bad any different than the globalists saying that there are too many humans on the planet and that we’re harming the planet?
If this person can’t answer these questions, then they’re bullshitting you.
It was gurdjieff hat said this over hundred years ago. He said many things that we now know are true..so inclined to believe him. With all this talk of mud floods ...I wondered if too much use could change frequency of the Schumann resonance or something similar. He said more than one....perhaps it was electricity from another source?
Never heard of Gurdjieff before, but after reading through excerpts from his work he strikes me as one of the esoteric types. Mildly interesting, but not my cup of tea.
One thing that stood out to me about his teachings is that he constantly speaks of “energy” but fails to define what kind of energy he’s talking about. This is a hallmark of esoteric types who don’t understand physics. There is no such thing as “energy” or “pure energy”. There are different types of energy: thermal, nuclear, kinetic, gravitational potential, electromagnetic, etc.
People who speak of “energy” without clarification simply don’t know what they’re talking about.
A discussion of gurdjieff’s writings on Reddit implies that he believed a number of bizarre ideas. Firstly, that there have been two prior civs that have been brought down by using too much electricity; however, these two civs are never identified, which is a major red flag. Secondly, he seems to believe that because our brains operate on electricity, then everything else using electricity affects our brains, chiefly by decreasing our willpower. Once again, no clarification or explanation is provided. If external EM fields significantly affected human brains, then said brains would go haywire every time someone was subjected to an MRI. Lastly, an apparent quote from him seems to be along the lines of “when we think, we are positively charged, when we do, we are negatively charged”. Whoever teaches this understands nothing of human biology or electric charge. The human body contains both positive and negative charges, uses both of them equally, and overall has a neutral charge.
Be very careful with people who are tauted as gurus or experts on the esoteric arts. They speak very artfully and convincingly of higher human consciousness, ancient civilizations, and “energy”, but a closer inspection of their writings reveals that they are mostly fluff and no substance, not to mention no scientific literacy.
There's footage all over the place, you idiot.

Is there any truth that the world using too much electricity would bring down civilization?
Maybe, but where "too much" begins is presently unknown, as far as I know.
