Summary

This quote suggests that the ongoing collapse of industrial society, which refers to the decline and potential breakdown of economic systems reliant on heavy industrialization, may serve as a means for the planet to avert a more catastrophic outcome. The statement implies that this collapse could potentially be the Earth's way of self-correcting and protecting itself from further harm caused by unsustainable practices and environmental degradation associated with industrialization. It hints at the idea that the decline of industrial society could be a necessary step towards finding a more sustainable and balanced relationship between humanity and the planet.
