Depletionism

Depletionism is a philosophical view that suggests that certain resources, such as physical or mental energy, are limited and can be depleted over time. This view is often used to explain why people may experience fatigue or become less productive as they work or engage in activities over a prolonged period of time.
According to depletionism, when we use up these resources, we may become less capable of handling tasks or making decisions, and may need to take breaks or rest in order to replenish them. This view is often contrasted with an "abundance" view, which suggests that resources are essentially limitless and can be replenished through effort or practice.
Depletionism has been applied to a wide range of areas, including self-control, willpower, and decision-making, as well as physical resources like food and sleep. It is often used to explain why people may experience "decision fatigue" or become less able to resist temptation as the day goes on.
Some research has supported the idea of depletionism, while other studies have challenged it. It is an active area of study in psychology and neuroscience, and the exact nature and extent of resource depletion is still being explored.

‘Depletionism’ is a term that has been used to refer to people who project that we're going to deplete the resources required to maintain the late modern state of technology or development. Depletionism divides into time-bound depletionism or far-future depletionism. The former divides into fast depletionism and slow depletionism. A common sentiment of the ardent depletionist is anyway that it happens "soon enough". An idea in depletionism being that depletion is ever "around the corner" in some sense. When the idea is quite fixed it can be referred to as Hard ‘depletionism’ (see idée fixe).Although matter does equal energy (ultimately), and there is an awful lot of matter in the universe, the problem for man is that his ability to utilize that energy is a fire-wielding technology: that is, it involves the destruction of one resource, in order to place one's self in a more favorable vantage point to tap into the resource that is really desirable. This is precisely what is done with nuclear fission, to achieve atomic power. But at a smaller scale, man does this every time he strikes flint together to get fire, or clears forest in order to create corn fields, or pumps water down an earth fissure in order to get out shale oil from difficult to reach places. The Promethean myth of fire captures this audacious and cunning manipulation of the elements. By the way, Prometheus not only gives fire to man, he creates man from clay. The creation of man, itself, is the giving of fire to man: clay is given fire, and becomes man, who works by the same process, once animated. Man, therefore, is problematical from the beginning. He has to put fire into clay, creative destruction, in order to sustain his fire-in-the-clay. --- Matthew Smallwood 14 July 2019
If depletionism is projected to cause a collapse, it's a form of collapsism, and if it's projected with catastrophe and/or doom, it is a form of catastrophism and/or doomerism.
