We will have to agree to disagree.

I have no intention of changing reality, it will be whatever its meant to, and I've a fairly firm grasp of it, and the underlying problems.

The way things are going people will end up killing themselves slowly through insanity because you and others don't see the fundamental problems barreling your way. By the time you notice; if you even notice, you won't be able to do anything about it. Most likely you won't notice since you've got psychological consistency working against you and you are closed to the problem.

God help's those that help themselves first, and then others when they can.

If you can't recognize a signal from noise (i.e. communication), you become isolated, isolation breaks our psychology, you become apathetic and complacent, or violent, and then that's it. This is true of every single human on the planet subjected to ongoing isolation. Once systems break down because we can't organize or communicate the systems that allow us to feed ourselves fail. Half the global population dies off from starvation, and that's just one of the more common problems coming our way as we approach the limits to growth (MIT study). Simple predator prey dynamics, when there are more mouths than food it returns to equilibrium.

I learned long ago to not stress over what I have no control over. Hopefully me and mine will survive this as we'll be preparing.

You can't say I didn't try to clue you into an important problem. Your glass is clearly full.

I'll die if I don't think like you?
