it was not Y2K that doom us, it was COVID-19
Y2K was already saved by harlem shake
We're at the dawn of a new age for humanity.
But life is the same as it's ever been. It adapts to shit outside of its control. We all can and should do the same.
For ourselves and each other. Don't give in to despair!
The ending is a blessing. The beginning was always a curse.
Nonexistence is heaven. I can’t wait. ☻
Are you doing ok?
The world is always ending since it’s inception and life is always starting as long as you moving forward
It's not the end of the world, just the end of 'easy times'. Still exceptionally depressing, but humans will probably find ways to survive the shit show. I think. Maybe.
I'd argue the end of civilization as we know it is the end of the world. Some amount of humans will survive with vastly less knowledge and technology, but survival of some humans isn't the metric.
Gotta love platinum. I miss Mac os 9.
people have been saying the world is ending ever since it began. Don't worry. It won't end. It just gets increasingly worse. you'll be here to enjoy it all
But the thing is, it very much can end. The past does not set a precedent for the future. Every year that goes by us a new situation with new technology, weapons, and climate.
Maybe the world had little chance of ending before nuclear weapons, but after? We know for a fact it can.
Worse? I don't get why everyone says it's getting worse. It only seems worse because your curtain of innocence is torn away as you grow older. We as humans latch onto negative memories, they exist in our mind longer than positive memories because it's easier to remember the bad. That is why everything seems worse.
Mix that with the Internet, news, and so-on and all of a sudden it's doomsday every day.
It has always been shitty, but each decade is getting better and better on average. Outside of risks like Nuclear War, and Global Warming, there really isn't anything else that will "end the world" as we know it.
If you brought someone from ancient Mesopotamia and showed them this current world, they would not recognize it as their own. Nothing would seem familiar and their world as they know it has ended.
I don't understand why so many people fall victim to this negative pessimistic thought process of "humans suck it's all going to end for us" instead of just focusing on the positive and improving the lives of those around them. If rude, mean, evil people try to fuck that over, trample them and continue being happy. If you can't trample them, adapt and work around it. Freedom can be taken but your mind cannot be bound.
My daughter is 13. She's the best thing that ever happened to me and I wouldn't give her up for the world, but I do feel guilty about what she will inherit.
