and the adhd goblins are also there in the background
Do they both come inside or do they also have ED from depression?
Include this 80s duder. Oof.
Today I was close to become the Joaquin Phoenix's Joker
We do, as a matter of fact, live in a society.
My biggest fear is climate change tbh, trump, facism, and capitalism are terrible, but the biggest threat to the future of humanity is climate change
Everything is a distraction from the feedback loops
"I wish that none of this had happened"
"so do all who live too see such times, but that is not for them to decide. all we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us."
as hard as it to reconcile with the world disintegrating when you're coming together as a person (I'm in the same boat) I find the above quote gives me some courage to accept such a condition and to act steadfastly instead, as a testament that life is worth living and fighting for
Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.
The world is improving: https://ourworldindata.org/sdgs it's only the media focusing on conflict, gore and problems as that sells better and keeps people scared. Go on healing and follow your path!
Some of the world is improving. Some has been regressing. The last 30 years weren't a very stable time, and even the accounts of what is happening is not reliable. Not acknowledging that has been incredibly harmful for everybody.
Anyway, yes, improve your life and the society around you. It's what you can do.
I hope things get better for you, fam.
Like I said, I'm improving. It's the world falling apart around me that's making me feel it's a bit superfluous to be achieving mental stability at this point in life.
Glad to hear it. I think it's common for scholars and activists to ignore self-care, but it's not superfluous.
Unfortunately, no. At this point, the majority of humans in every country have allowed the worst of us to amass and consolidate power to the point where things will only get worse until complete destruction. Without a concerted and basically worldwide effort to take those power structures back, everything progresses downward. For my part, I can only hope we go out fast and soon so some of the planet's ecological systems and species can be saved.
This is unhelpful.
Well, that was more bleak and depressing than the post.
Also, hard disagree. Not everything is lost.
