The reason the Easter Island analogy is applicable is that Easter Island was extremely remote, and completely cut off from the rest of polynesian civilization. It was a complete little "biosphere" all it's own whose residents had no contact with the rest of the world. Very much like Earth is isolated.
All the other islands that didn't suffer similar collapse were not isolated. That's exactly why they didn't collapse.

Oh, how brilliant. You should carve your name onto a little shingle and hang it outside your door, you are SUCH a little psychoanalyst!I think the Easter Island example is a haven for the total doomers who really WANT there to be a complete die-off; after all, it relieves one from one's responsibilities to live, right?
