I feel at times that I still live in the never-ending 20th century, that I’m stuck here, that maybe everyone is stuck here, even people born too late to have seen it happen. True, there are smartphones now, and new types of ugly buildings. Images are sharper, even when you zoom in. You can tell that time has passed because unremarkable things like Sweetheart Jazz cups have acquired the status of fetish objects.
So civilization, at least as we know it, is going to collapse political, economic, social, educational, health, transportation, technological systems all will fail, a bit a first, and then more and more.
