Her mother was schizophrenic. OK, we get that. People like to deny problems and sweep them under the rug. We get that, too.

However, generalizing her mother's illness to the "collapse of global industrial civilization" is a bridge too far. People can reasonably differ about that, in general, and specifically about what should be done about it if it IS true.
