On a stud scale: River or Johnny?

Hey Paul, thanks for the effort, love your videos.

My question: do you know of any civilizations/best examples that managed to drastically reverse their ( previously clearly indicated) cultural collapse? Through actions of ( ruling ) individuals/groups or technological breakthroughs?

Or is this ( based on your work/experience) something that has no lasting impact compared to global, "macro" factors ( like climate change, resource scarcity, etc)

Any ( best ) example of society Aware of it's drastic downward trend ( without attributing to nonsensical reasons) or it follows " We're-ignorant-until-we-Die"?

What do you think of popular Yt channels such as Sargon of Akkad and their interpretation of similar events ( related to past cultural collapses)?

Thanks.
