Problem being, this won't be like that. This will be significantly worse and likely faster as well. It will not be as driven by human action (in the moment) so much as by natural forces. Maybe some of us will be okay though. I hope.
You're not wrong, but at the same time when if you recognize we're in the process of collapse that can't be stopped, there's value in accepting it and finding ways to live a fulfilling life as it all falls apart.
Collapse is always uneven. For many individual the collapse of the Roman Empire was sudden and brutal too. It was just slower as an overall process.
