It is not the "End of the World" just the end of western civilization as we have known it. The decline of our civilization is so very similar to that of the Roman Empire. Our success and associated affluence is the cause of our decadence, depravity, corruption, disappearing work ethic and desire for excellence. Each spoilt generation breeds a worse generation. The 'Visigoths' are taking over the world and have penetrated our boundaries and major cities. Our societies are bereft of leadership and paralyzed by differences in opinion and agenda.
The world will survive as it has done for billions of years. I am sure that the human race will survive and a new renaissance will emerge just as before.
The saying: "may you live in interesting times" comes to mind.
