Does humanity go in cycles? Are we in the end of one?

I know this is very controversial. I know it might seem very un scientific - to deal with issues of lost civilizations and the similarities between them and the place we are standing today, but at least for the sake of curiosity, at least for the sake of considering that truth might not always lay in the arms of the main streem, at least for members of an alternative and somewhat underground platform like this, I think it is worth giving some thought and consideration. Common truth has changed so much, and theories that were looked down at so often turned out to be not so ridiculous years later. Let's try and keep our minds open. Graham Hancock has many books and detailed YouTube videos. Check him out.

“And we don't have to have gloom and doom, because, as a matter of fact, we already have the technology to solve this problem, we already have it. It's only a matter of priorities. Right now the big bucks go to military expanture. Limitless, trillions of dollars can be raised to invent ever more sophisticated ways to murder and destroy one another on this planet, to make us forget that we are all brothers and sisters. That every human has a right to life. We seek to.. inflate.. not.. when I say we, everybody's at this mad game of destruction that's going on in the world. Yet our cosmic environment is seething with danger. We're paying absolutely no attention to it all, while we look for ways to destroy one another as a species. The technology already exists to sweep our cosmic environment clean, and I'll close on this note…

...and the Amazon basin is almost completely dark. And we have hunters gatherers in the Amazon who don't even know our culture exists. I mean they see an airplane going overhead and they think “what the hell is that?” You know!? We live in a world where there are hunters gatherers co existing with an advanced technological civilization. If an event like the younger dryas impact were to happen today, who would survive? Would it be us? With our technology? With our dependance on specialisms? Actually very few of us know how to survive at all. We are kept alive by a complex inter network of specializations. Everybody does their bit and that's civilization. We have lost the psychic resources to face a catastrophe. We're not armored mentally against that. Human beings would certainly survive, but I don't think our civilization would survive such a cataclysm. I think we'd be into a walking dead scenario within about two weeks. Everything would fall apart. There would be no food in cities for the.. It would just be.. It would be awful. Who would survive? Triumph would be the hunters gatherers because they're in the business of survival. That's what they do all the time. An event like this would just go over their heads. They would get through. Some of us might even settle amongst them, seeking their help, seeking their refuge, and we might teach them something of what we know, if we happen to be individuals who knew enough, worth teaching. And who’s to say ten thousand or eleven thousand years from now, that the descendants of those hunter gatherers would not be passing down a, quote myths, the archaeologists of the time would call it a “myth”, a myth about how there was once a great civilization that lived on this planet, so advanced that they were almost like Gods, they could send men to the moon. They could fly around the planet in a matter of hours. They could speak to one another and see one another on opposite sides of the earth. But they became cruel, they became arrogant, they began to impose their will on others around them. They developed an overweening pride in their own achievements, they seized to bear their prosperity with modoration, and the universe slapped them down. Let's make sure we're not the next lost civilization.”
