Nasa- collapse of civilisation coming

I'm not too worried about civilization collapse. Whether we finish killing this planet with radiation, finish filling the land, water & skies with poison or an asteroid hits, not a thing any one of us can do to change it; nobody's gettin' outta here alive anyway. Best to take care of you and yours, not to worry and live every day like it's your last. After all, Time is not of the essence. Time is the essence.

I like this quote too

"Time is the furnace in which we burn."

It's true for us personally, for our version of civilisation, for the solar system and for the cosmos in general.
It puts all our issues into perspective. Everything is trivial yet every thing is also important. Paradox.
 
It just sounds to me that a lot more people will simply join those at the bottom that are already dying of starvation and disease. There will be no collapse for them, just more of the same, but more company.

Excellent point, and this could very well be it.

Hogwash! We can cuss and discuss the end of civilization or life as we know it but we're just whistling Dixie. That is to say, we don't know what we're talking about. The best of us and our governments can't find a missing airplane, let alone know when or how or if this civilization might end. The only thing for certain, is that it's not likely, most of us on this forum won't live forever, but are living in the last days, our last days.

I dont know why any of us on this forum are worried about this collapse,since most of us are not to be here to watch all the fireworks.
 
I agree with it pretty much. The only thing I would change in the article would be "the study noted that the elite of society have often pushed for a "business as usual" approach to warnings of disaster until it is too late" part. I don't think it is only the elite, I think most people, including the home-less/poor/ignorant have a "go on like usual" approach. I think that another huge reason things will come crashing down is the self-centeredness of people. I mean if everyone were 100% honest, I believe we would all have to admit that "number one" is most important. So if everyone were like Scrooge "was" in the story, then no one would be working for the benefit of anyone else. That's just how I see it. It seems to me that it's when people pull together, that is when we see things happen. And hopefully they are pulling together for good, not bad.
