The collapse I am writing about is the collapse of society….there have been many predictions and conspiracies about how and when our society will fall into the manure pile……and this has been going on for many years with this group or that looking for signs in the heavens for ultimate fall….
Now scientists have used a computer fed it all the relevant data and the year is 2040….but there is more….read on….
Scientists once used a computer to predict when society as we know it would collapse, and let’s just say there’s apparently not long to go.
We often rely on technology these days to give us an idea of what life might look like in the future, whether it’s through AI predictions or simply becoming more and more reliant on the machines in our daily lives.
…
Through this research, the team learned that the fall of society would hit near the midpoint of the 21st century. And yes, in case you’d forgotten, that’s the century we’re currently in the middle of.
In fact, there’s apparently less than two decades to go until the collapse. 17 years, to be precise, as the scientists predicted the collapse would come in 2040.
At the time the report wasn’t taken too seriously and did attract some ridicule, the Guardian reports. However, before you start to feel smug you should know that in 2009, a different team of researchers did a similar study which produced similar results.

That is not very far from now and as old as I am I may still be among the living when it comes.
Does anyone care?

Well, we’ve been like a bunch of zombies for decades. Maybe next time around humans will show up.
Good one but is it in our nature to ‘show up’? chuq
If someone brings the beer. 🙂

Ha! Yup.
The official collapse of The United States of America occurred at 2:34 am on November 9th, 2016 and the epicenter of the quake that began it all happened somewhere in or around Washington DC and environs.
The collapse has not been total but damn close and it is not over yet for the Fat Lady is warming up chuq
On this occasion, I think those researchers might be spot-on. If I live for another 17 years, I will be 88. Like you, I could possibly live to witness the downfall.
Best wishes, Pete.
I will be 93 and not too sure of anything else. chuq
I can feel her tottering and hope I don’t live to see the crash.
I do not want6 to see it either. chuq
When society collapses, it will not be on a data model-driven date. It will be near spontaneous, and only those who know what the indications and warnings will see it coming. By that time, if one hasn’t already dedicated significant bandwidth to survival and self-sufficiency, it will be too late to start. The adage of “9 meals to anarchy” will be proven true.
I live in a hurricane zone we are always ready for a collapse of some sort. chuq
