Are we on the road to civilisation collapse? (2019)
I'm an amateur historian at best, but I'm not aware of any era that has not expected the world to end soon.<p>The Christians have done it for 20 centuries now, as one example.<p>During my life, it has always been a common expectation, though the expected cause has shifted a few times.<p>My hunch is that maybe we're hard wired to expect the world to end, for some undiscovered reason.<p>Again, I remind you of my amateur status!
