QuoteSure...but how many years do you need to see it and claim it before everyone else figures out you pulled the trigger on claiming it WAY early?
I am not concerned about claiming collapse early because we live in a world which denies collapse altogether. About collapse I prefer being right or wrong, rather than be early or late.
As things are. Things are happening as rational doomers predict. There is a shooting war. Prosperity America has no more. I never was a 'Earth is going to turn into Venus guy'. I have not predicted things too early. Some years ago I came up with a musical chairs theory. A crisis comes and some people don't make it on through to the other side.

How many people with long term unemployment from frequent economic downturns in America ever get back to work? Not many. 2008 almost did me in. Musical chairs. Fewer resources find fewer people to distribute themselves amongst. As if resources were sentient.
But resources have no intelligence, human culture only makes it look that way. Where are you on the supply chain gang? Cycles of musical chairs become more frequent and more brutal now. Lebanon has 50% unemployment and that is not the only country in DIRE straits as I type. There is a serious shooting war and no protest. Social collapse. Half of America is ok with WWIII. The choo-choo train of collapse can be heard approaching in the distance. People don't know it is too late to make America great. They do not hear the train.
I have not claimed anything too early. Collapse is delayed because substitutions for resources are available. Easy oil became depleted and people into collapse in 2000 thought the end was nigh. Fracking extended the oil endowment but a Seneca cliff of oil production is on the horizon.
You can't say it ain't so.
* Considering that it is too late to do anything to avert collapse. Nobody was too early!
