Easter Island's ecological collapse (humans chopping down the last tree) reflects a broader pattern where by the time only one tree remains, it's too late—the real strategic failure was earlier, when the hundredth-to-last tree was felled without understanding ecosystem dynamics.

“by the time there's only one tree left it's probably too late and there's an ecosystem all around us sometimes it's an actual ecosystem with trees sometimes it's an ecosystem filled with social media or competitors or whatever do we understand that tomorrow is going to be a little like today but different”
