It is quite clear that people with your perspective take this as an axiom, and yes I hear the note of being positive, but let me explain a situation that is a good place for some realistic amount of doomerism, a situation where you have arrived at the ending of period of your existence in which you had a high quality of life, it happened much quicker than anybody quite expected and there is no escaping it for anybody including you.
If you got news that you had 10 years to live due to a terminal illness or a revised outlook on your future health prospects, and my response was to lecture you about being negative about it, that there is no use thinking you only have 10 years to live, you have to deceive yourself you have longer, that is the only way to live… how empty would you feel?
I see this type of thinking EVERYWHERE around me and it is honestly kind of terrifying.
I am making a conscious choice to try to keep working the mission, because what’s your solution? What exactly do you want to see someone say to your prophecies? What will make you feel better? “Actually, everything will be fine because I have an army of 50 million people and we’re marching on DC”?
It’s not happening. It won’t happen until it’s too late. I can’t repeat this enough: NOBODY IS COMING.
If we all die in 15 years, we die in 15 years. I’m doing what I can with the tools I have, what are YOU doing besides making your last years as unpleasant for yourself as possible?
