It's really dangerous when humans stop pretending they know what they're doing en masse. At least 20% have to pretend or the whole system falls apart. That's the real danger of quiet quitting. It's not the slacking, it's the admission of incomprehension.

That's an interesting idea. Maybe it's not that we are living in a fallen civilization, managing systems that we could not have possibly built but instead we are just collectively noticing that no one knows what they're doing

From death comes new life. It's only "falling apart" if that's all that's happening. This is a great opportunity for the world to find new models for all sorts of things. No one so far has figured out a way to communicate this though. Maybe Zelinsky is that guy.

's what the boomers did in 1982 or thereabouts.
My new credo: every horrible predicted thing comes to pass, more or less. It's just that people don't notice by the time it does
