It is also probably BS to assume a periodical die-off for humans in the near future. At the moment, humans are not showing any signs of a die-off, they are just not multiplying anymore. Humans do have something that animals do not, a culture. And this culture seems to have induced a downward variation in population.

We call human die-offs "war", "genocide", "drug epidemics", "pandemics".

There was a spike in 2021, of course, but the world death rate has been edging up slightly every year since then.
