Mickey, like all civilizations, attempts to mitigate an emergent challenge or economize a system by way of adding complexity and gets in over his head (using nuclear fission to boil water is an attempt to run a technological island society in the face of an exponential decline in global carbon based energy).
Whether it is Mickey and the sorcerer's brooms, the Maya resorting to arroyo (canal/trench) irrigation without letting crop-field lay fallow or the American Empire playing around with Hydraulic Fracturing and Deep Sea Drilling for oil, even in the Arctic and carrying on with Geo-Engineering via Chem-trail spraying the end result is the same: a precipitous decline of return of investment in complexity and a drop to a less complex state of greater stability (collapse).
Joseph Tainter does a much better job of explaining this, it is his brilliant thesis that he is often cited for after after all.
The foundation of all mental illness is the avoidance of legitimate suffering - Carl Jung
