One thought to Elon.

First, you are projecting your own personal/family issues into this.

Second, western civilization is not dead. For western civilization is a beautiful love story between Nordic (barbarian, sensorial) matriarchal society and Roman (imperialistic, technological) patriarchal society. We are all offsprings of that, and it is precisely our synergy with different African, Asian, Indian and Arabic cultures that decides the evolutive direction of each branch. Of course some will die in the process, but that depends on the input and the value that each adds to the whole. For it is the act of giving that fuels creation but capitalism as a foundation is just like a mud fight with big boobs - nice to look at but adds absolutely nothing of value.
