Usually, this type of thing is used to deny the severity of the climate crisis. "There always been people who think they're living in the end times!" We have the data. This isn't wild speculation or belief in the supernatural. The effects will be catastrophic no matter what at this point, and it only worsens each day the machine chugs along.

Yeah, humans are still around after going through some hard shit, that doesn't mean we should be okay with it. No one cares what will happen in the next few millennia, we're concerned with what will happen in the next few years.

"write a book" is probably equivalent to how every young male with a little bit of notoriety and some half baked ideas wants to start a podcast.

Now a days it's "start a podcast"

To be fair, they did fall pretty hard.
They all did. And we will too.
The bronze age collapse was in 1177 bce and the assyian empire actually was one of two (also Egypt) who actually survived although much diminished. So realistically, the apocalypse this guy was waiting for took another 1600 years to show up and didn't even take out the nation he was in at the time, which WAS STILL AROUND.
Old times are fucking crazy, yo.
