This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

This weekend I backpacked through some mountainous areas like where I used to live in Colorado 20 years ago. The woods seemed oddly…sterile? But you could only really see it if you paid close attention. Fewer birds, fewer small critters, just an eerie quiet. And no bugs except for pests—tons of flies and mosquitoes.
It's a lonely quiet world.
Edit: Forgot to add that there was a tornado on Pikes Peak. Yeah.
