This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

As someone in my 30s, I expect to be part of the beginning of a series of steward generations who will desperately try to manage this Great Decline. My only hope is that it can be slowed down enough that I don't die in some thunderdome contest for scraps.

The paradox is that continous decline also leaves space for new.
