Civilizations collapse, do you think we're immune to that now because technology is at some level?

Of course humanity is not immune, but it is resilient.

Even if 99.99% of people died from an asteroid, it might only take a few hundred (or thousand) years to rebuild the population and the world.

And once humans live on multiple planets, which is likely within 100 years, the odds of permanent extinction become remote.
