Can we Re-Build Civilisation after Collapse.

I do love your enthusiasm Scythe but I fear you are in for a disappointment. the human race has been getting dumber and dumber over the years, specialisation is a wonderful thing but not if it comes at the expense of everything else. just look at all the people who are divorced from nature and the natural world, the ones who don't even know which animal their food comes from and what's more they don't care, the ones that live on KFC and Macdonalds and don't know one end of a saucepan from the other, the ones who cant live without their "coffee to go" and their daily dose of Facebook and Twitter, who cant live without their technology, the latest mobile phone et all. it will depend on the scale of the "die off", I just hope its all these people that die off and not the people who know how things work or how they are made but I wouldn't count on it.
