Abstract

The greater a fallacy is, the more difficult it is to recognize and address it. Although researchers made attempts to find solutions to the problems facing humanity during the last decades of the twentieth century handling these problems continues to be an issue as the conclusions they drew are being questioned in the twenty-first century (Meadows et al., 1972). As no new common ground (paradigm) has emerged, Aurelio Peccei — the founder of the Club of Rome and Institute of System Researches — has said that one needs compelling arguments to “forecast a potential catastrophe in the coming decades” and that “there is a necessity in the Great change of the direction…of human activities.” (Peccei, 1969) The analysis of the successes and collapses of civilizations has long attracted attention; Jared Diamond has continued the examination of this subject (Diamond, 2005).
