brittleness of civilization? last i checked civilization has managed to survive 12'000 years since it first came about.

Is that so? Then how is Akadia doing currently? And what's up with the Hittites? Are the geometry nerds in Egypt still in power?

Civilization as a whole might survive, but civilizations are constantly going under. Just think about how much knowledge was lost during WW2 or after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

There's exactly two locations in this world still having samples of small pox. Do we know that the location in Russia is still operational? They might as well lost power in 1991 and had their Diesel stolen.

We've actually had multiple civilizational collapses. Just because humans survived doesn't mean the knowledge or civilization did.
