This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Back in the early 1980s, one of my friends was taking a high school English class where they had to read Bleak House. He was not much of a reader, and there was no way he was going to read 1100 pages.

I asked him questions about the book, the basic plot structure and the characters, then I wrote an essay for him including the kind of mistakes that I thought he would make.

He got about the mark that he was expecting, and paid me 20 bucks or something.
