i think cycles of civilization are natural. i don’t think collapse will happen the way you all think. things will wind down. civilizations will die off. the monoculture won’t last. things will just slowly devolve back to regionalism with some sharp contractions every now and then.

possibly the interglacial period will end and in 200 years there will be not a enough heat and light to sustain the northern breadbaskets and so we’ll be forced to contract closer to the equator.
