“Societal collapse is inevitable” my wayward cowardly son _change_is inevitable. Society is _how we navigate change without_ collapse, and the sooner you start acting like society is a thing you participate in, nurture and support instead of the thing on the other side of the glass that delivers your groceries and send you bills in the mail the sooner you’ll stop feeling quite as lonely, tired and frightened all the time.
Your alienation is not your destiny.
