This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

You were better off not knowing. It’s a burden that is with me every day.

So you'd rather live in the matrix, so to speak?

Yes, but I also seek the truth. Which would put me in the same position. But once you’re confronted with the red pill, curiosity makes you take it. This video explains our situation: https://youtu.be/YsA3PK8bQd8 It’s somewhat sensational, but it’s on purpose. I just try to remember to be grateful to be alive and that I have people who love me. Absurdist philosophy has helped.
