Good news, everyone! The Doomsday Clock is currently set at 90 seconds to midnight.... Wait, that's not good news at all. It's the closest humanity's ever been to the apocalypse. While I don't think there's a nuclear holocaust coming, civilizational collapse is always on the table.

The pic used for this vid is called Destruction from the Course of Empire series of paintings done by Thomas Cole (ain't that poetic) between 1833 and 1836.
They were made during a time of great pessimism and tension in the US. While the country didn't fall, it did have its bloodiest conflict only a few decades after.
