At this point I don’t see it being reversable.
Me neither. We are in for the full fall to the rocks below. Some of us would like to see it speed up so the Phoenix can sooner rise from the ashes.
Only thing is, I believe this fall will be of biblical proportions and will probably be the “final battle”. Fact is, the collective wisdom gained in the history of the entire human race has been destroyed in the last fifty or sixty years. There has never been a time like this, and it is global.

Then you are part of the problem! We don’t let them win. If we go down, we go down swinging!
Buck up. Of course it’s reversible, unless enough people convince THEMSELVES it’s not.
A civilization decline is like a person aging. You can delay it, you can temporarily reverse some of its effects it with really good set of treatments.
But long term it is not reversible, it is inevitable.
We have left the golden age and are now coming to the silver age. We were Rome—now Byzantium. We may well lose territory (Alaska and Hawaii) Maybe the Pacific Coast to a new power. All empires Fall because of internal flaws—Our obsession’s with race maybe the thing as Rome’s obsession’s with Religion—and that Bread and Circus thing was there’s
“...Is civilizational decline reversible?..”
Ask the ancient Greeks, Roman Empire, Iroquois League, 5 Civilized Tribes, etc. But even at that, none of them fell because they wanted to and hated themselves.
This has been coming for decades. Trump was a reprieve, not a pardon.
More than one of the nation’s founders said words to the effect that ‘Our Constitution was designed for a moral and religious people only’.
Will anyone argue that a society that promotes, makes wealthy and gives awards to “Artists” like Cardi B” while banning Dr. Suess can be characterized as “Moral and religious”. (I know, That’s just two of many but you get the point)
