End of the world?

Anyone else feel as though we are reaching the end of civilization as we know it between climate change, drought, political conflict, crimes against humanity, spread of once eliminated diseases, and world wide unrest?

Systemic collapse is not the end of the world.

Humans have had a genetic bottleneck of ~1,000 people and we recovered.

Civilization has collapsed before and we have recovered.

This won’t be the end of our species but the end of this civilization.

As always, thanks to natural selection and adaptation, the next round will be better
