Quote from: K-Dog on Aug 15, 2026, 04:33 PMThings won't get interesting enough for TDOS until there is mass death. But that is like only reading the end of a story.
Indeed.TDoS sets the bar for what he accepts as evidence for collapse so high that when it's reached supply chains will have failed completely, shelves will be bare everywhere, nobody will have reliable electricity, gas pumps will be dry and the only thing Dollars useful for is wiping your ass.
While this level of collapse has reached countries like Cuba and Somalia, it's still a ways off in the FSoA, though Europe seems to be getting there pretty quickly. Thing is, by the time it does make it here, the process of getting there will be over, it will be history not futurism. Everyone will acknowledge the reality then. For those of us who analyze collapse, we'll move on from reporting on collapse in progress to predicting how society will reformulate. Except of course there won't be any internet and most of us will be dead anyhow.
Anyhow, by the time there's evidence enough for TDoS of Collapse, the show will basically be over. My interest is in how we get to that point, and what transpires along the way down.
