With low probability by 2043, but yes. In my lifetime? Depends on how exactly you define those terms, but not unlikely with conservative definitions. If we look a few centuries out, I expect that either civilization has collapsed, or this has happened.

Sure, there's a bit more probability mass that it's in your lifetime than in mine (I'm 33). There are many, many reasons why civilization could collapse—including, critically, this scenario coming about! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_ca
