"The only thing that will bring the machine to a halt is running out of the energy needed to keep it going. The complexity of the globalised system, with all its interdependent sub-systems, will then cause cascading systemic failures, which nobody will want and yet is unstoppable. The Tragedy of the Powerdown.
Once the population has been reduced through war, famine and disease to a level that is sustainable without further trashing the planet, and held in check by famine and disease the way Nature intended, the whole damned cycle will begin again, although it will never reach the heights we see today due to lack of energy."
This is pretty much where I am at as well.
