My guesses for new civilizations forming...
Green: Would bet on
Yellow: Maybe
Red: Very unlikely.
Civilization begins with a unified culture, a shared ethnicity or ancestry (usually by establishing a coherent racemix or a certain tribe or groups of related tribes), and a common language. From these foundations, a worldview emerges, marking the birth of the civilization. This worldview shapes every aspect of the civilization throughout its lifespan and determines what they'll develop, what their high culture looks like and how it demises
Civilizations typically pass through several stages: they begin with growth, expansion, innovation, and discovery, eventually reaching their peak. However, over time, they often become entangled in destructive conflicts, including major and often futile wars, and experience a decline in spiritual and cultural vitality. People become hedonistic and unproductive. The society then becomes a mere shadow of its former self.
Attempts to revive the civilization often involve the rise of authoritarian regimes. Although these leaders may be charismatic, they are often ineffective, leading to further weakening of the society. Eventually, the civilization reaches a point where it no longer functions cohesively, and people begin to drift away, forming new cultures, societies and ethnicities. The society fractures and ultimately collapses.
Wars and terrible crisis's accelerate the collapse.
Like individuals, civilizations cannot be revived. The weight of the civilization's development is too strong to counter. No examples of civilizational revivial has been shown throughout history according to my knowledge.
Also, civilizations usually develop between a mix of cultures. They usually incorporate aspects of the nearby previous great civilizations (Rome -> The West... or Mesopotamia/Egypt -> Rome). They can not form in the heartland of past major civilizations, nor can they reuse the same worldview as old civilizations.
This is according to what I've learn from consuming Oswald Spengler's content.
Heartlands of Future Great Civilizations (my guess)
1. Patagonia - Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Southern Brazil
2. Chernozym - Southeastern Europe, Caucus Region and Anatolia
3. Southeast Asia - Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand
4. West Africa - Southern Nigeria
5. East Africa - Gregory Rift
I think Patagonia would be the most intellectual and maybe most probable, with people like Jorge Luis Borges showing the capacity for intellectualism in that area. He was obsessed with quantum physics, and I think any new civilization would have a belief based on or that was coherent with it. It also has a birth rate above 2.1
Chernozym would probably be decently intellectual as well, it could use some works from Dostoevsky and use that Turkic energy to conquer and and also it has a birth rate above 2.1.
Southeast asia - maybe. it's industrializing but I don't think they have the genetics for it. Some blockchain leaders emerged from here I think. We'll see
SSA East and West - SSA has fake borders, and the only reason it was relatively peaceful was because SSA is extremely tribal. Once the world breaks down and things get chaotic and supply chains can't function, the whole continent would go to shit and there'd be like 10,000 wars in SSA. The only civilized societies that would be there would probably be Cape, Madagascar and North Africa. SSA would undergo what europe did longgg time ago. they'd have to forego ooga booga behavior and fight wars, develop technology, and compete for which african group can fight for dominance. SSA's genetic diversity shows how tribal the region is. Once tribal competition starts, genetic diversity goes down as evolution and natural selection selects for the most intelligent, conscientious, and fit tribes and they dominate the region they are in and therefore faciliate a genetic cleansing. Once that's done, we can see if anything happens.
The thing about SSA is that it's probable people will tamper with that place since it's so weak. We could see other cultures manipulating, populating or even annexing certain regions there maybe.
