Modern humanity is accelerating into ESCAPIST behavior.  The inability to manage extreme human behavior is DNA-based.  Migrating humans had no extremes to manage.  

————————————-

The blue line on the left represents 2 million years of human evolution. Homo sapiens appeared 275,000 years ago, as shown.

Evolving humans quantified their concerns and solved their problems, at risk of death.  Modern humans in escape mode is therefore not sustainable.

Escapism is unnatural for creatures born to quantify and to solve.  Human DNA has no evolutionary blueprint to manage extremes.   

Stationary cultures are placed into unnatural conflict by two different realities.

—Evolutionary Influence.  Modern humans misinterpret threats.  Misaligned responses are guaranteed.

—The Human Injury.  Self-interest replaced collaboration.  This DNA-based insult spawned unnatural human behavior.

The place of origin for evolving humanity, the African Congo Basin, was not known.  Unnatural human conflict was unwittingly monetized.  it was the monetization of unnatural conflict that by itself committed all human empires to their demise.  

Pleasure-seeking and pain-avoidance behaviors became more pronounced as unnatural hierarchies tumbled into chaos.  The collapse of all 40 empires was imminent long before it occurred.  None of these empires were at fault, because none deduced shared human origin.

CONCLUSION:  NOT SURVIVABLE.  Unchecked Escapism presents as pleasure seeking and pain avoidance.  Human DNA has no blueprint to manage these extremes.

Escapism will arrive at Surrender.  Surrender is an unofficial form of Commitment.  Recovery has extremely low odds, almost zero.  Re-direct, or Fail.
