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 a complex society, we are only as smart as our dumbest members. And some of us are so uneducated as to be a danger to the future of humanity. The only solution (I can see), is immediate mandatory education. Like full on collapse aware science, with studies and graphs. I’m talking fuck the military budget and dump every available dollar into education. It may not make a difference, but it’s our best shot for humanity.
