    Quoteyou will be sure to drop in and refresh us with your firm belief that since the defining SHTF Day moment has perpetually failed to arrive for all recorded history, since no collapse was really the Apocalypse because, hey, we're all still here, right?  LOL.  Every Kollapsnik who ever predicted collapse since Homo Sap first became self aware has been wrong, so it's a fair bet I'll be long dead before it comes to pass, as it of course must, because the Sun will run out of hydrogen eventually of course.

    Always a perpetual argument about what human nature is.  One thing for sure.  Humans can't appreciate a collapse timeline.  Check the news about the Iceland volcano activity every day, and after about three weeks of doing that you are going to believe it is not going to erupt.  But it will.

    Iceland volcanoes erupted three times last year, and there is seismic activity to show eruptions will happen again.  Your 'human nature would need calibration.

    Personally I miss the herds of buffalo  I will never see.

    Collapse has been happening for a long time.

    I will never dine on Passenger Pigeon in my private Pullman rail car rattling the rails to Chicago from New York.

    I have an ancestor who had his own Pullman.  The private jet of its day in the 1880's.  At the time he was worth a few million.  He did it by owning lots of chicken farms.  Consumption of Passenger Pigeon is a reasonable assumption.

    He put my grandmother through an Ivy League college.  She was his granddaughter.  At the time he was 107 years old.

    So fuck Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  It should be my turn.

    Collapse has been happening for a very long time.
