Anyone else think that AI is our Easter Island moment? We keep consuming resources to build more statues until there are no resources left ... but lots of statues, many unfinished.

The international edition of our study on the Ahu–Moai systems of Rapa Nui is now available. It presents a network‑based structural model that reconstructs the functional organization of the island’s monumental architecture and its systemic interdependencies.

• The Slave Trade: In the 1860s, brutal slave raids captured over a thousand inhabitants. Those repatriated brought smallpox, turning the island into a "vast charnel-house."• Capitalist Extraction: European traders later burned huts and destroyed crops to force the starving survivors off the land.

The historical reality is not "ecocide," but colonial homicide. Early visitors, like the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on his flagship, recorded a lush, cultivated island with a healthy population. The Rapa Nui did not commit suicide; they were liquidated by globalized profit-seeking:• The Invasive Vanguard: Ecology was first destabilized by invasive rats that arrived with European ships.

The "ecocide" of Easter Island is a myth (and the real story is darker)
The mainstream narrative of the Rapa Nui—popularized by figures like Jared Diamond—is a "fable of global ecocide" used to blame human nature for systemic failure. In this myth, a "selfish" population overexploited their trees to move stone statues, eventually descending into cannibalism and war. This is a lie designed to glorify the hunter by blaming the lion.

Das ist das finale Argument gegen Flatearther. Die Erde muss eine Kugel sein, denn wie soll die Statue da reinpassen?

Anyway, at risk of overloading their servers, there is a really cool 3D model of all the Easter Island "moai" there. and you can see some stuff that is apparently inaccessible even to archeologists/etc. because of the terrain and sensitivity of the site. Link here:
