No civilisation has ever been able to correctly foretell, or indeed understand the chain of events that lead to its demise. It is easy to see from hindsight and that leads every other civilisation after it to think that it can see it's own. Ponder that for a moment as you think you know what is going to happen.

Very Very True TH. I do think however that at least SOME work needs to be done to understand societies that collapse. One of the standard textbooks on this is Joseph Tainter's "The Collapse of Complex Societies" which although archaeologically based, contains a lot of, academic data on complexities that could reward those who have the time to delve in.
