This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

To the last point: it is also a better plan to guard against a nationwide attack. If we regulate the cyberattack response of every plant in the same way, any weakness can be exploited in all of them instead of currently having to tailor an attack for each specific plant. We have a sort of extra layer of defense in the form of individualism.
