    We have overextended ourselves as a species and nothing lasts forever. One major clusterfuck and it will all tumble down.

This has been true for ages.

The problem is that people rebuild, we take what was knocked down and use it as an excuse to build it back up, and build it better than it was before. I guarantee you that it won't be more than a year after power goes out universally that people have figured out replacements and gotten power running, in many places, again.
