How soon do you anticipate the coming collapse of civilization?

14. I have thought about that as well...i think almost every generation sees the end coming...

... as the next generation moves to the fore, but I think that it might actually be right this time for this era's generations to think that way. This is especially the case when you consider that the impacts of Global Warming are becoming ever more present, the polarization of the political process, (and the increase in religious and ethnic hatred) not just here in America, but across the globe accelerates, coupled with the continued concentration of wealth amongst fewer and fewer people, certainly suggests that things are coming to a head at some point in the not-too-distant-future...

What will be the tipping point? Food riots? Water riots? Governmental collapses due to the high cost of rebuilding after several back-to-back mega-weather related disasters? Civil unrest due to climate-change refugees? Or something along the lines of a massive cyber-attack bringing down the internet and crippling the infra-structure of a super-power? Ebola? Bird-flu?

Who the fuck knows...but I think it'd be best to buckle up, it looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride..
