"As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken."

I think a lot of current interpersonal conflict and people acting/reacting towards each other in less than positive ways stems from that, reacting in weird ways to that conscious or subconscious knowledge of just how bad things will get in our lifetime.

Man goes to a doctor and says he's depressed. Says he can perceive reality only through negative cognitive distortions. Says he can't feel joy or hope anymore. Doctor says, 'Well, look at the bright side: it could be so much worse, you could be in an online doomcel community!'. Man bursts into tears, says, 'But doctor… I am a CSPAM mod!'

It's funny that the humans who survived the last apocalypse survived because they had practical skills like subsistence farming and hunting whereas the ones who survive this apocalypse will be financial managers and their private security forces and they'll all starve to death like a month after everyone else dies.

I was born in the 70s and did my 20s in the 90s. I remember an insane nun forcing us kids to hide under a desk to teach us what to do when Reagan and Konstantin Chernenko* do WW3 with nukes. You don't know doomerism until you've met a catholic loving nun convinced Ronald Reagan is going to bring the end time *any day now*.

I was dead inside long before this cursed website.

* I think it was chernenkov, I was about 9-10. Definately not Gorbachev

PROGRESSIVE SCAN
Upset Trowel
but it do be like that.

Everything is converging on poo poo times ahead, & we can't play something else.

On the individual level absolutely nothing can be done at this point.

Enlightened acceptance I think is a healthy and sanity preserving mental posture, but it is not easy to get there. And you can't get there through coercion or proselytizing. Many people just fall into pits of grief, despair and anger along the way, and that's after the denial and bargaining. Sour doomers moaning WASF aren't very helpful to anyone, but neither is hopium or pinning our salvation on techno messiahs.

Despite what you see on the Internet, the average person is steadily becoming more progressive and enlightened every day. Governments can't keep being regressive in the face of that indefinitely. Sure there's a small chance that in their stubbornness they will set off something resembling a civil war but it's unlikely. More likely than that they'll just slow down the inevitable progress, which WILL happen. It's gonna be all good

The key to staying happy is to frame present day as cool scenes in your favorite fictional dystopias. Like casual games of make believe when you were little, except not being little, and yes you could really die. ( :krad: )

So when you think about the oceans dying. That makes you like Charleston Heston in Soylent Green except you have a freezer full of beef, fish, strawberry jam, and whiskey so you're doing pretty loving good.

When there's a violent gun death within walking distance of your home. You're a hardened cynic who doesn't even care and there's loose cables in your basement... not because you're lazy. But because you live in a neon cyberpunk world where life is cheap and all that matters is how many buttcoins and loyalty rewards points you got on hand. This frame of mind has been a godsend spicing up my life of IT-droneship for various megaconglomerates. I'm a loving corpo! I got all your secrets and I could gently caress up your billing any time I damned well please so WATCH OUT unless you wanna become an un-person!
