Nit picking, but I don’t think we’d sit on our asses for 300 years. The difference would be that we wouldn’t need to reimagine what’s possible, we’d know. So, simply that would drive us to improve our lives. But more than that, the knowledge would still exist in books, and we’d still know how to read. So, the idea that it would take us hundreds of years to get back on our feet seems silly to me.
That’s a very fair argument. My example was something of a thought experiment about what life would be like without modern supply chains, and I wanted to push it forward in time so that the apocalypse-conflict would no longer be relevant.
