meaningless. what does it mean for a society to be complex? what does "collapse" entail? if a certain amount complexity makes a society collapse, why are we more complex than ever? shouldn't society have collapsed before this point?

just a bunch of nonsensical words strung together to mean nothing more than "i don't understand some things and it makes me afraid". literally the mindset of people who think trans people existing will lead to the downfall of society.

On top of that assuming societies get more complex over time, of course a collapse would always happen when they are the most complex.

When people get too old, the next step is death. We are now older than we have ever been!
