The world and the apocalypse
in Philosophy ·
The true apocalypse is actually an apocalypse of consciousness,
The real end of the world happens when people start living far beyond their means,
An apocalypse is when folks get buried under credit card debt and lose everything they own,
It’s an apocalypse when people don't get their paychecks and suddenly can't even afford to exist,
An apocalypse is what happens when the global economy collapses—right now, we're basically just hanging on by a thread (even if a certain conductor is orchestrating the whole thing),
And once all that breaks, everything just goes completely sideways.
As for the rest—comets, tectonic plates, floods, climate change, and all that—that stuff happens. It might cause some trouble, sure, but it doesn't have to be today or tomorrow. It's happened before, and it'll happen again. As for when? Who knows! If you actually knew when it was coming, you'd probably just take a vacation.
If not, well, you just keep living your life like you have been.
