What Triggers Collapse?

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Charles Hugh-Smith

So what will trigger the collapse of the status quo, and what lies beyond when the current arrangements break down?  Can we predict how-when-where with any accuracy?

All prediction is based on extrapolating current trends. If we expect 'more of the same', it's not too difficult to make predictions about the near future. But history is not always simply more of the same.

Suppose we are in the midst of an era that is as monumental as the first Industrial Revolution or the fall of Rome. Suppose we're in an era that will compress a century of transformation into the ten years from 2017 to 2026. In this scenario, those who get it right will be riding the disruptive wave that is crushing everyone who blithely expected 'more of the same'.

It is especially challenging to forecast the outcome of crises that break the status quo and establish a new social/economic order.
