2020年流年不利，我觉得黄历上头应该有一条：忌编新词词典。你刚编完，还没进印刷厂呢，就又出新词新义了，简直是光速过气。娱乐圈的偶像光速过气，还有粉丝替他们的爱豆摇旗呐喊、喊冤心疼。编词典可没人心疼。
（所以也别急着去抓什么词典新版，刚抓完人家就更新了，多倒霉）
collapsology 这个词，今年刚刚亮相：
guardian：
‘Humans weren’t always here. We could disappear’: meet the collapsologists
telegraph：
French flock to philosophy of 'collapsology' in record numbers amid coronavirus crisis
The movement, based on a book by Jared Diamond, holds that civilisation is heading towards impending collapse
'Collapsology': Is this the end of civilisation as we know it?
france24：
IN THE PRESS - Monday, 12.10.2020: We take a look at how the press is covering Turkey's involvement beyond its borders. We then find out what to expect from the first day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings in the United States. We also discuss fringe ideas that are gaining ground, from QAnon's conspiracy theories to "collapsology". Finally, we find out how the press has baptised Rafael Nadal a God of the courts, after his French Open win.
虽说这个单词是2015年就有的，喂鸡百科的页面是2020年年初才建立的：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapsology
至于collapsology的意思，无非是collapse的派生词，「人类文明大厦倒塌学」「人类灭绝学」什么的大致不差。之前我在论坛里提了doomer，doomer指的是人，那collapsology指的就是这个现象、这个思潮。
collapsology、collapsologist 这些新词的唯一毛病，就是太长了，说不定再流行流行，会被大家砍短——就像「六小龄童学」变「六学」一样，「六学家」也就三个音节。
