Collapse arrives not as rubble but as purposelessness. This episode examines how AI strips away work, cultural milestones, and shared narratives, leaving individuals adrift. Universal stipends keep people alive but not fulfilled. Arts drown in machine-generated pastiche, relationships fracture as companionship shifts to simulations, and communities lose cohesion. Depression, addiction, and extremism rise. Civilization survives biologically but loses its spirit. The danger is not extinction, but enduring life without meaning.
