I don't know. I am not studying societal collapse, but it still seems like the world is going downhill.

  Would you really rather live in your parents' or grandparents' time? I wouldn't. My grandparents lived through two or three shooting wars and a hard reconstruction. My parents lived through the Cold War, when the prospect of nuclear war was very real. By comparison, we are living in a very benign era. The 21st century is playing the game of life in easy mode.
