I assume by "collapse" you mean economic and social breakdown provoked by climate change and other chaotic forces. In which case most people will die of starvation, and the world will become very nasty indeed.

I agree that modern society is very sick, but I don't think it's productive to look forward to the day when it all falls through. I do not aspire to die of starvation, or (if I survive) to live in feudal society of medieval technology. No matter how much exercise and fresh air I get. We need to think of a way to heal ourselves without losing the social and technological progress we have made.
