Collapse is a popular topic in today's preparedness media, many foretelling of the end of the current financial system, the Great Reset or some other apocatalk.  The reality is that every single civilization in history has terminated and to some degree, because of the decisions they made.  Through an examination of historical evidence, modern theories we discuss collapse and how our current society is awfully close to that precipice now - maybe we go over, maybe we don't.  But one cannot deny that the world is a complex, interconnected world that is harvesting resources from the earth at an unsustainable rate.  We eventually will kill this planet, maybe not for hundreds of years, but without societal change, the future is not bright.  So what can you do?  Maybe not solve global issues, but this is but one more reason to become  more self reliant, self sufficient and far less reliant on the government o provide for your welfare.  Huge credit to the BBC for the majority of materiel, including many quotes.  Find their articles here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190218-are-we-on-the-road-to-civilisation-collapse.  Take the time to understand normal accident theory and how we live in a tightly coupled world.
