Predicting Collapse: Psyco-history and moving forward

Psyco-history
As a concept psyco-history is basically the capacity to see whats coming based on how it went in the past. How did it go in the past? It went badly. If there is anything we can learn from the past its that cultural participation requires every citizen to participate freely. Political, cultural equality. These are vital.

The Peaks in civilizations are created by multicultural inclusiveness. A place where everyone is included. When that stops, civilization declines. Because as that culture is controlled by less and less people it heads towards a singularity that ends in debris of change in possibility. Every civilization reaches the point where the language spoken is spoken by one percent of the populace, where the culture of that civilization is shaped by one percent of the populace. Where wealth is in the hands of one percent of the populace. Where control of resources is in the hands of one percent of the populace. The decisions are made by fewer and fewer until they are no longer made.

Then civilization ends.

Take this pandemic. People are having mental breakdowns because 'God has come for the Sodomites', the Crows are flocking to Wuhan, and this is the end of humanity. Well, no, its not. Fourty thousand years ago we entered a period of heavy asteroid bombardment that descimated whatever civilizations might have existed, and that went on for twenty thousand years, the sea levels dropped two hundred metres (600+ feet) and the winter got cold, and droughty. And at the end of that twenty thousand years, during which humanity struggled to survive, it huddled in caves. Twenty thousand years followed the twenty thousand years before it, and sea levels rose two hundred metres and some tribes survived, while others lay down in their caves and died.
That wasnt the mercy of God that got us through a fourty thousand year long shitshow, it was our humanity. Civility was rebuilt, while a few once again developed a taste for civilizations founded on a thrones of skulls. Because of course they do.

Moving Forward
How do we move forward? We could resort to mandatory cultural participation. Some previous civilizations were short lived because men and women failed in communication and a shared language development. We would need to make sure that there are no cultural divides. That participation is mandatory and equally and easily accessible.
But what if thats the wrong choice? What if we need to make it harder? What if humanity needs to be earned? This is of course an invalid opinion simply because at superposition all life is the same life and religion and evolution as valid opinions as toilet paper. But what if we need to make it harder to qualify for humanity? What would we need to do to bring that about?
