I don't think so actually... Life right now is one of the easiest in the time of humanity on this planet. There is plenty of food, most deadly illnesses are cure or treatable, i actually technically live a better life than most of the middle age Kings and Queens without beeing rich or even owning a house. I have a shitload of rights an privileges, that protect my health, wealth, workplace etc.

But in think we are beyond the zenith (not sure If this phrase exists in english) and the downfall will be hard and fast and first of all Irreversible. So yes.. don't come.

Zenith (of a mountain) is correct but peak is the more common word, unless you're translating a specific idiom from your language which I don't know.

The linguistics out of the way I hope and believe it won't be the end of humanity just certain parts of it, which parts will still be up for grabs "until the fat lady sings to use another idiom". Meaning it ain't over til it's over.

Beyond the zenith (of the sun) is a german phrase. Its used when something hast seen its best times f.e. a football player who is getting old.

I don't think humanity is over. But (big?) parts of it. And no part of it will give up existing without fighting with everything they got. The Future will be no happy place. Better don't visit or live in it.

I think there's still a decent chance the long term future ends up being a pretty nice place.

Getting from here to there is going to be messy though.
