Most Ukrainians didn't believe that Russians will invade them even if they can see the massive forces pilling up 1 feet to their border. This wasn't possible in 2022, they think. Oh well, guess what? Reality always beats even the most brilliant sci-fi writer.
A collapse of our current society, that is mainly based on paper-money can happen. And even if some of us can see that certain things looks awkward, our brain is fooling us into the safest route "don't panic, it cannot happen to me".
I say it's just a matter of time for a major shift of how our civilization keeps going ahead.
