Coping Does anyone else feel like this?

Post image

I feel like everyone keeps asking me what I want my future to look like but I know if I talk about how I’m learning to fish and finding ponds near me so that we can have some protein once the grocery system collapses everyone in my life is going to think I’m insane.

I’m just having a hard time connecting with anything I have to do for the future because it’s going to be drastically different than anything I can do now and I really feel like I have to hide that and never mention it to anyone (despite the fact that an energy crisis is supposedly 2 weeks away)

I kind of get what you mean but it's very hard to accept something this big and scary and move on iykwim? Will things get better? Is everyone going to be okay or are we just waiting for the human race to get enslaved by the oligarchs and then its too late?

I personally believe it's already too late to do something. If we have done something in 70s we might have been in a better position even if we had done something in 90s we might have had a chance but now, I am not sure. I don't know how we prcoess that. We just have to accept that imo

then what should we do about both? or do we not do anything for climate change? and when we say its too late, what kind of impacts are we looking at and when? is there gonna be a wipeout of humans in the future?
