It's a bit of a race, how long can you consume faster than
natural replenishment, and generally fuck shit up, before
reaching the understanding, control, and technology needed
to back you off the depletion and saturation points. The further
you gamble under a negative rate condition, on your ability
to push the event horizon of reaching positive replenishment
and restoration, particularly as your negative rate is increasing
(2nd derivative), the greater your odds of losing.

Humans like to gamble, but Nature is the bookie, the house,
programmer of the slots, printer of tokens, dealer, security, etc...
To Her, right now, you're just a dumb patron, drunk on
consumption, and She's going to win.

Sober up.
