You're living through it right now though. Increased disease, poverty, institutional break down, more conflict, more movement of peoples towards various social or environmental refugia. 'Collapse' is a process that takes decades.

Yeah but there are a couple downward steps that would be a lot larger and more obvious. I'm hanging out to see if they are in the near future. And also heck it might be fun for a minute in the more chaotic moments.

Tell me you're not female without telling me you're not female.

Touchè. I mean though still a female or not could break into the zoo and try to play with the animals or break into a chocolate factory and steal all the cocoa they can get their hands on... Just more inherent risks.
