Seneca Collapse: Growth is slow and sluggish while ruin is rapid. Plague, War, Death, Famine, not necessarily in any particular order, and sometimes all at the same time, are waiting for energy collapse.

Nothing’s gonna change in the Universe, except of course the irreversible changes that obey rules of thermodynamics as they evolve and control everything in time.
