Why we're blind to civilizational collapse

Most people mistake dangerous existential threats for temporary fluctuations. Standard prediction models assume history repeats itself, but unprecedented crises like climate change introduce Knightian uncertainty. This means the systemic rules of our planet are actively shifting, rendering historical data useless.

Society continues to treat existential threats like routine market dips. In reality, humanity is rapidly marching toward an absorbing barrier, a mathematical point of no return. Once the system crosses this threshold, total collapse becomes permanent and irreversible.

The terrifying reality is that humanity will not see the final breakdown coming until it is already too late to act.
