What in your scenario causes the death of human creativity so that we are no longer able to solve the problems we encounter?

You know that “creativity” isn’t magic, right?

Creativity cannot reverse entropy without having the necessary energy sources. To harness such energy sources requires components to be manufactured, built, assembled, and deployed. Once a certain threshold has been reached the raw materials needed will not be available in large enough quantities. That’s what I’m getting at. If we can develop those energy sources before that threshold is reached we had a chance of continuing.

Capitalism. Rich people don't have to think. Poor people never have the opportunity to.

Double whammy, capitalism is also a major contributor to these problems.

IMHO, capitalism is the ONLY cause of these problems. It is totally dependent on the increase of all goods, on a continuous need for growth and the further enrichment of the already-rich, damn the cost to the poor and the planet. The only sane answer is a equitable economy (it's called Socialism, folks), and the development of a socially moral compass.
