You mean global societal collapse?
You are correct.
Because global society has never before occurred.

No doubt stone age living is uncomfortable. By age 40 you’d be lucky to be still alive.
Is that such a bad thing?
Do you HAVE to live a long life? What benefit is there?
Back in the stone age, we didn’t even have a concept of time. We didn’t care to live long.
We lived a full life in our prime, and died when our body began breaking down, living and surviving being harder and harder.

No. The Industrial Revolution as a system started at about 1760, so your sums are way off. Again, according to what you are saying the Industrial system should have already collapsed or be in the process of collapsing.

I know. That was already said. What I said is that it only became relevant in the mid 1800’s, when it became global. Additionally I provided another estimation, that being when globalization began and the entire world became its own civilization.

Nope. You can't move the starting line to benefit your theory. It started at about 1760. Sorry.

What makes it out of the realm of possibility? Be specific, please. What makes our current global system invulnerable to societal collapse (actual societal collapse similar to those documented in other societies around the world throughout history, not some nonsense Day After Tomorrow shit)?

How on earth are you defining this lmao
What is “the Industrial Revolution as a system” and why is 1760 a hard start date, you need to explain why you’re saying this

You are being unreasonable, ignorant, and quite idiotic. Britain being the sole industrialized nation does not apply to the circumstances I am talking about. Britain is one industrialized nation, but this industrial empire, whose death I am predicting, is a global empire of sorts. And by this time, the mid 19th century when pretty much the whole world went industrial (again relevant to the topic at hand), all these nations interacted more diplomatically, transportation was streamlined, same with communication. Therefore, at this time (and specifically this time), the world became a civilization.
