Well, B, The Honest Sorcerer, apparently still sees significance in 2030 as the edge of our current civilization’s Seneca Cliff. I suspect Richard Crimm would agree that 2030 will show us extended episodes of the worst to come. Ugo Bardi is quite likely onboard with B and Richard. What say you, about you and me agreeing with them that the day the SHTF is essentially a mere blink of the eye away? I believe The Archdruid was correct when he prophetically suggested that we should “collapse now and avoid the rush.”
The change that you sense has little to do with the collapse that we are entering with the pedal to the metal but shrinking attention spans. Our ability to count has been reduced to base three. One, Two, Three, Many. Five is infinity.
There is collapse, then there is collapse. I think the United States, the EU and the UK will collapse by 2030 but the rest, maybe but not by 2030. Climate collapse by 2100, is a real possibility though. Unless, by some miracle. enough humans die out and bring the system back into balance again. Stranger things have happened.

Also, I should mention that this piece was largely satirical and tongue in cheek.
Sound advice. I am in good company then.

Perhaps we're in the midst of the Great Regression, a place where formerly common skills like counting and thinking are disappearing.
As others smarter than me have observed, "Who knew 'Idiocracy' was a work of prophecy?"
Thank you Michael🙏
Brilliant title, Michael. It twists my brain.
Thank you.
