The obvious thing left out of statements like "All historical empires have collapsed under their own weight.." is the fact that humanity blundered on regardless, unless I'm a starving Mesopotamian caught up in some weord hallucination, of course.
The fall of Rome didn't mean the sudden death of however million Romans that existed back then. The Mesopotamian empires transmogrified into other entities, people moved, some people died. All the rest survived and perpetuated their lineages.
Evolution requires failure, otherwise we'd remain mired in ignorant stasis.
Knowing everything you know - do you even want the status quo to live on forever? Of course not.
We're smart creatures, some of us'll get though and do even greater things in future.
Just make sure you're one of them, so stop whinging and go do something.
