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.

That's sort of exactly the issue that need solving.

But if you truly understand what is being said and aren't taking anything personally, or making it a dick measuring contest of some sort, then agreement isn't just possible, it's probable.

Ie actual empathy without ego.

If only there were medications to help us experience empathy.

Oh wait
