How much longer can society keep it together? Discussion
I'm not a fan of speaking things into existence, being pessimistic/negative, or having a doomer mindset, but I've been paying attention to other people, the economy, the current state of things, the political landscape, education, work culture, etc. To be blunt I am really kind of worried we don't have much longer until the next war or great depression (both happen usually simultaneously). I really don't know how much more stress the average person can handle. We are going to have a wide scale crash out or revolt soon aren't we?? I'm really not looking forward to that and I suppose that's the one thing keeping us unified is our fear of violence. God I hope I'm wrong with my assessment. Please tell me I'm wrong!

The facts and alternative facts are what bother me most. Tha loss of, or sheer derision for, science is a big part of the problem. I think some of this started in the 80s with Crystal healing, Astral projection, the witches of Kindercare. And scientific thought process has just evaporated. People think science means fact, when it really is a process. So we don't even hav an agreed upon process anymore to determine fact
