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.

Looking at the graphs, just drawing a 2012 line on them adds significance but, for quite a few 2016 is at least as good a fit and that marks the dawn of the Weaselverse.

Yes, I think the author is trying to prove a point a little too much. The proportion of sequels to original movies one is more noise then trend but it “clearly plateaued” before 2012.

It was the death of David Bowie. He was holding reality together.
