Do you think society will collapse within 10 years?

[delayed]

If you believe this sort of thing you spend far too much time online and not nearly enough time existing or participating in society.

Ten, I'll evade the question. Twenty, yes, no doubt.

Society has already collapsed and we are on a slow roll to dubious decay.

You see, society to too big to fail. Even when core virtues (precepts) are invalidated (eroding competence and moral lawful claim), society as a collective organism eating and shitting to survive will just keep on going.

There may be upsets, though sudden and dramatic change are not how these things work (however they appear post dramatically).

Slow gradual decline is like erosion, looks fine one day, fifteen years later when you’re dealing with something else the foundation gives.

We won’t riot war and starve out, we will be dejected apathetic and morose while what we love in it all dwindles into an old song.

Hot take, but I don't care. There's not much I can do if it does collapse. I have emergency food, water, but it's not like I can do anything else if people start pillaging. In the meanwhile, I have far more things to worry about that i can control such as taking care about my family, making sure my finances are in order, am eating healthy, etc.

Societies rarely collapse. They decay. If things are not getting better they are getting worse.

If European society survived the Black Plague we will be fine. Imagine living in a time where an unknown virus kills half of the population. Half of everyone you know is gone. This is only one of countless examples throughout history.

No doubt today we have unique challenges but I am optimistic we will overcome and thrive. Like a poster mentioned above, perhaps its time to log off and go for a walk.

Nope.

The markets might collapse. And then stay stagnant. That is not see type of price growth we have seen. But whole society is not going anywhere.
