i'd like to think i'm more of a realist than a pessimist, but i do believe our system (like all systems) is doomed to collapse. it won't be immediate, but it will happen. everything is cyclical. societies rise and they fall. i'm willing to bet the majority of the roman public thought their empire couldn't possibly collapse.
