Reality always hurts
If we're facing that scenario, the focus shifts from prevention to managing the transition
Preserve essential knowledge and culture: Create robust archives of human knowledge - scientific discoveries, technical know-how, literature, art, and cultural wisdom.
Maintain critical infrastructure as long as possible:
Focus on quality of life: If the timeline is inevitable, prioritize reducing suffering and maintaining dignity. This means ensuring access to medical care, food security, and emotional support for people during the collapse.
Build sustainable communities: Establish smaller, more resilient communities that can function independently.
Document everything:
Prepare for gradual rather than sudden collapse: Most population collapses happen over decades or centuries, not overnight. Use that time to make the transition as humane as possible and to set up whatever foundation might enable recovery.
The key is accepting the premise while still acting with purpose and compassion rather than despair.
