Loss of a moral mindset. Lack of respective for life itself. Loss of family formation. Self Indulgence reins. I see all of these issues becoming more visible and growing.
Taking grandparents out of the loop, then parents, manipulation of culture is a done deal. Comes out of the schools, collapse of system of justice comes from those trained in the art of deliberate deception, and sabotage, the school teachers.
Kudaev analyzes one of the most important topics in Berdyaev's creative heritage - his philosophy of culture. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that this subject is viewed in terms of Berdyaev's concept of tragedy which allows to understand the metaphysical grounds of being and existence including being and existence of culture. This is the subject of the present research article. The article is focused on one of the most paradoxical contradictions of culture: the ontological conflict with life itself, tragic opposition to existence and inevitable transition of culture into civilization. Kudaev shows their internal relationship and tragic antagonism which Berdyaev considered to be inevitable and which could be worded as follows: when society, represented by its prominent representatives, directs the creative energy to create cultural values, it is forced to restrict and even to suppress the will to live, to sacrifice the "thirst for life" to culture. On the contrary, when the society has the "will to live" and the thirst for power and strength, then culture is sacrificed. This antagonism can't be overcome and generates, in its turn, a whole number of contradictions (between goals and means, the meaning of life and the meaning of existence, the creator and his creation) with all the ensuing consequences for the development of culture, civilization and the entire creative fate of human. The research is of integrated nature at the confluence of cultural studies, philosophy, esthetics, religious studies and history which, in its turn, has determined a complex historical-philosophical and philosophical-cultural methodology. The scientific novelty of the article is caused by the fact that the author reconstructs the basic provisions of Berdyaev's philosophy of culture exclusively from the point of view of Berdyaev's concept of tragedy.
PDF is in Russian. I am hoping Google Translate helps me. It did not when I downloaded the PDF.
I believe that 'collapse' is a natural series of cycles (like forest fires) that have prevailed for millennia. There are several embedded cycles; eg, the 80 year generational cycle (4th Turning), the 250 year economic/financial cycle, being just 2 - it is indeed complex and as complex adaptive systems are impossible to predict, we can only react as they occur, and prepare accordingly.
All civilizations seem to have followed the same timetable... As if it were not enough that civilization is under controlled demolition, the concentration of power usually represents the final phase in the cycle before the collapse. At least there is one thing the globalists and the commoners have in common:

Maybe the issue is how long a civilization can continue to grow like a cancer in contrast to culture which gave birth to civilization. https://aurora-journals.com/library_read_article.php?id=-32930

Charles Hugh Smith is an expert on systems and cycles who I quote often as his logic accords with mine, here's just one of his insights: https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2021/06/it-always-ends-same-way-crisis-crash.html
This essay from my colleagues at The Burning Platform strikes a note for me especially the fate of the EU (much to my glee): https://www.theburningplatform.com/2022/12/13/the-end-of-europe-the-conclusion-of-a-long-historical-cycle/
Excellent points. Humans are basically lazy animals. When they get fat and content, everything begins to slide.
