I'd be focusing on enjoying my remaining time in any caseDBTrek wrote: ↑Thu Aug 05, 2021 2:40 pmIf I had no kids, I'd give a fuck about this place.
I'd be like - damn, America is going straight down the shitter.
Glad I'm out of here in a few decades.
This place is about to suck.
But I wouldn't waste much energy trying to turn it around.
Be more focused on enjoying my remaining time than ensuring the next generations have a better time.
there's nothing I can do to turn things around
I don't actually worry about things which are beyond my control
like I say, I don't even waste the energy of checking the media clickbait anymore
there's no reason to keep checking, there's nothing I can do about any of that
I view this as an epoch we are passing through
it's on a scale which even America does not have any control over
if the global hegemon can't do anything about it, then I certainly have no sway
there's nothing to even fight, it would be like fighting the ocean with my fists
again, this was all predicted to happen by Marshall McLuhan, and he got it exactly right
that was back in the 70's, I have been heeding his warning ever since
I've basically been prepping the whole time, shaping my life for this war that he presaged
round about 1980, the amount of information society had to process went exponential
like the chart went straight up, and it's been compounding relentlessly ever since
it's like an information tsunami which is sweeping the world as we knew it aside
it's just too much information, society as we knew it just can't handle the load
people as a collective are overwhelmed by it, resulting in mass paralysis by analysis
so the breakdown is above even the level of America, this is a species wide event
I didn't have any kids as part of prepping, I have been expecting a dystopia, so I travelled light
the prediction was
"a guerrilla information world war with no distinction between military and civilians"
so that didn't sound like a good place to be bringing kids up in
this breakdown of civil order is not the big surprise, it's going down exactly as foretold
the biggest surprise has been succumbing to faith in God, didn't see that coming
but with hindsight I now realize that it was there all along, I was just suppressing it
my parents raised me not to believe, to reject it
so I must have pushed it down into my deep subconscious
yet I behaved all along as if God was real and as if there is a next thing to come after this life
so I never succumbed to a feeling of doom, I didn't actually go off the deep end into despair
I actually followed the path and got everything I ever desired and much more
to include coming to Jesus before it was too late
now the timescale is vectoring towards the infinite, towards something beyond this simulation
so the near term fate of civilization seems less consequential
things will work out in the end, but only long after I am gone to the next level of existence
it really just comes down to my marriage now, my pair bonded soulmate, that's my priority
my wife & I are growing old together, happily & contented, more so than ever
we've reached the destination we were shooting for, we are living the dream
I wake up every morning and feel the pure of joy of it, and I thank the Lord for my blessings
phase one, mission accomplished, stand by for next phase launch
to the sea of tranquility & beyond
God bless America, I hope she pulls out of this spiral, but I don't expect to be around to see that
I don't expect the afterlife to be floating on clouds watching what's going on down here on earth
I expect it will be something far more inconceivable than that
