    We’ve been in a state of near society collapse for at least 100 years now.

      I’m in Europe. Our society DID collapse during the last hundred years.

        Not from a real “collapse” point of view.

        The last real collapse which ended civilization was the end of the bronze age.

        The end of the Roman Empire was way more transistory in comparison.

        Yes, civilization was set back, yes, rulers changed, but if you scrap the whole renaissance/ enlightentment propaganda about the “dark ages” there were more things that survived than collapsed.

        In the end we’re living in the same civilization as Aristotle, Augustus Caesar, Charlemagne, Elizabeth I., and Bismarck.

        Let’s hope global warming / nuclear war doesn’t take care of that.
