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.

MODERATORS
Is there anything in psychology that might help us deal with existential dread? I’ve found philosophy has helped me tremendously. Particularly, Albert Camus and Absurdism.
I found Jung's archetypes were pretty soothing to study. They really give insight into human communication and history. If you can find "Man and his Symbols" in color hardback, it's an amazing read. It's also a great way to dip your toes into Jung's writings, without going too heavy too soon.
I think it helps to realize that we will die either way. Maybe in a decade or two being unable to afford food or some climate catastrophe. Maybe later. Maybe tomorrow a car hits us deadly.
We will die and we don't know when and how, so try to make the best out of every day and try to be nice to others.
Furthermore fairness is a human concept, we can never count on it.
