So stop thinking about it. Build a life for yourself. Have fun. Get drunk. Make friends. Go fishing. There's no good reason to obsess over things beyond your control. If it's going to happen, and you're powerless to do anything about it, then it's going to happen regardless of what you do. You might as well enjoy what you can, while you can, and then deal with shit when shit happens.

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.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.
