Yep. No society is immune from collapse. My point is only that
technologically advanced societies are much less so. So, do you think
anyone alive at the height of the Roman Empire was still alive to see
those wolves roaming the streets? No. It took a very long time
indeed, for Roman society to decline and fall. It didn't suddenly
collapse within a portion of a single lifetime, like, say, the Incan
Empire.

The Inca and the Maya were very technologically advanced. Both collapsed
in
a lifetime.

No, they were not technologically advanced. They had some skill at
celestial observation, and a very rich culture, but they barely even used
the wheel or any other form of technology more advanced than that commonly
found in the Western world of thousands of years ago.
