> Calhoun’s Mouse Utopia vs Modern Humanity
> Timeline Comparison (1800–2100) | Collapse is Real

PHASE A — "Establishment Phase"
1800–1900
- Industrial age begins
- Basic needs secured at scale
- Population boom, urban birth
(Mouse equivalent: utopia built, initial growth)

PHASE B — "Explosive Growth"
1900–1950
- Tech advances, empire expands
- WW1/WW2 then global recovery
- Population surges
(Mouse: breeding frenzy, doubling fast)

PHASE C — "Role Stratification"
1950–1980
- Nuclear family, suburbs, gender roles
- Civic life, specialization, stability
(Mouse: social roles emerge — alphas, mothers, enforcers)

PHASE D — "Behavioral Sink Begins"
1980–2005
- Consumerism, social atomization
- Divorce spikes, birth rates dip
- Early net + mass nihilism
(Mouse: antisocial behavior begins, territory breaks down)

PHASE E — "Collapse of Roles"
2005–2025
- Incel rise, gender war, birth crash
- Passive males, disconnected females
- Children avoided, identity chaos
(Mouse: breeding stops, roles disintegrate)

PHASE F — "The Beautiful Ones"
2025–2040
- Youth obsessed with self-image
- No sex, no kids, no purpose
- Social isolation disguised as freedom
(Mouse: grooming, complete social withdrawal)

PHASE G — "Reproduction Dies"
2040–2060
- TFR < 1.0 in rich nations
- AI eats work, culture collapses
- Cities shrink, no legacy left
(Mouse: zero litters, irreversible collapse)

PHASE H — "Civilizational End Phase"
2060–2100
- Ghost cities, tribal enclaves
- Rewilding, retreat, data ruins
- Fragments survive, not society
(Mouse: final mice die alone in silence)
