    The thing is, yes it may happen.

    But neither you or I know when or how things will begin to south. All we can really do is live our lives and love our loved ones.

    We’re all gonna die eventually. Hopefully in many years due to old age. I currently don’t make enough to start doomsday prepping.

    I’m not trying to be a defeatist here, but there comes a point when worrying about a possible eventual collapse is not worth it. And I’m not sure doomsday prepping is the answer. But goddamn do I hope to own a piece of land one day in a fairly rural area with a fully off-the-grid existence and subsistence off the land.

    That’s the retirement idea for me.

        I did read the article…

        You should probably try to engage in discussion rather than put down a different viewpoint.

        Edit: just for clarity I’ll mention how the entire first half of the article was about his conversation with his friend and how hopeless and lonely the author felt about the knowledge of the impending doom of civilization. His friend wasn’t ready to accept it

        That is what my comment is referring to.
