    Okay, when a government has completely collapsed, after the total collapse of the larger global leading entity; a peaceful revolution that results in something completely new, should be the top option.

    But I don’t think we have that much time

        In my personal (very, very amateur) opinion; less than 10 years, where things keep running as “normal”

        Humanity is awesome at adapting so I think it’ll be a very long time before things become impossible to deal with, but there is going to be a lot of transition and disruption over the next 20+ years

          Sounds like history as usual then.

          The thing I’m most worried about would be nuclear weapons, but I’m pretty sure the aliens are preventing that from happening.

          Personally I’m most worried about starting a family.
