we see that "depletion of mineral resources" is #53. So why #53 as opposed to #191, or #67, or #3?

Most causes in the list are just idiotic, so it doesn't matter. There are a few that are more convincing than "sexuality" TBH.

Anyway, yes, the article and everything around it is just weak, malthusianism all over again. The first wtf for me was the "every civilization has fallen, why not ours". Exactly, why not? Don't they see any difference? And did all previous civilization fall for the same reasons?

Maybe they fell because "complexity"... come on.
