Apprehensive about the future? Like many, you likely have a gut feeling that things aren't quite right, but haven&rsquo;t been able to place your finger on why. That feeling only grows with the increasing political tensions, economic uncertainty, natural disasters, and supply chain disruptions. What do all these challenges mean? And what will be the result of society&rsquo;s current trajectory? &ldquo;Breaking Down: Collapse&rdquo; takes the complex concepts surrounding the ultimate collapse of modern industrial society and simplifies them so they&rsquo;re easier to learn. The compelling evidence for our inevitable decline is introduced by collapse-aware Kory to his good friend, Kellan, who probably doesn&rsquo;t realize what he signed up for! Skeptical?
