The collapse of society is inevitable, even if it is in the distant future. When it collapses, it is likely to do so within the lifetimes of some people. These people will have matured in pre-collapse society, experience collapse, and then live the remainder of their lives in the post-collapse world. I argue that this group of people-the transitional generation-will be the worst off from societal collapse, far worse than subsequent generations. As the transitional generation, they will suffer disparately. This intergenerational disparity in suffering is inequitable. Given that other disparities in suffering are worthy of remediation, this intergenerational disparity in suffering is worthy of remediation. However, the only way to do so is to target the mental states of the members of the transitional generation.
社会的崩溃是不可避免的，即使是在遥远的未来。当它崩溃时，很可能在一些人的有生之年发生。这些人将在崩溃前的社会中成熟起来，经历崩溃，然后在崩溃后的世界度过余生。我认为，这群人——过渡一代——将是社会崩溃中处境最糟糕的，远比后代糟糕。作为过渡一代，他们将遭受不同程度的痛苦。这种代际间的痛苦差异是不公平的。鉴于其他痛苦差异值得补救，这种代际间的痛苦差异也值得补救。然而，做到这一点的唯一方法是针对过渡一代成员的心理状态。
