Ha! That was a good writeup. While I am an optimistic person here is one scenario from the article that I think is possible:

“”” Cyberpunk/Sci-fi: The social and ecological collapse is not accompanied by a reduction in material well-being or technological competence, but by a disproportionate growth of the gap between social classes. Often a collapse of the established order is not followed by a chaotic and violent conflict, but by corporations that replace the state and implement dystopian societies. Examples: Autonomous, The Peripheral, Elysium. “””

Humans are very adaptable and scenarios that sound awful to present day people, might be tolerable once they manifest.
