> Collapse is not inevitable Of course it is not inevitable. I remember reading Elie Wiesel, and particularly one remark "this thing can't happen in the middle of the 20th century". Almost a century later, and we feel a bit detached: there's nothing special about the middle of the 20th century. Well, guess what, there's nothing special about the middle of the 21st century either. Atrocities similar to what happened 100 or 200 years ago are still possible. Weird social dynamics are still possible. 6th of January '21 is just such an example. I'm personally thankful that in my lifetime there was no world war, but I don't take it for granted that a worldwide calamity is impossible in the next few decades.
