We are saying the same. Clearly the Earth ecosystem is proof that with sufficient level of control at nanoscale level sustainability is possible. In fact, physics tells us we can do quite a bit better than that.
Yes, we have effectively stopped trying to relevantly innovate in mid-1970s with some exceptions (semiconductor photolitho, optics and DNA technology). R&D in a collapse environment becomes more difficult, further reducing reachability of high technology regimes necessary for sustainability. Full closure self replication of solar power infrastructure largely with ISRU at small scale is a key technology for that.
