“Doomism isn’t about the future being hard, doomism is about believing the future is hopeless.” – Dr. Freckles
- They told us in economics classes that FOOD was an inferior good, and basically garbage.
- They told you the SMART GUY leaves home, and you left home … and then you returned one day to find home destroyed.
- They told you “you gotta be happy, if you’re not happy you’re a shit head”, and some of us suffer from actual severe depression, from time to time, and we’re just not going to be fucking HAPPY about any of your wretched bullshit …
- The wars, the prisons, the slaves …
But it’s not hopeless …
Yeah – life has become dreary and ugly, but it’s still life.
We were sold a SHRIMP SALAD MASTERPIECE that turned out to be a turd sandwich van Gogh surprise …
But life goes on – my view of the future hasn’t really changed. I’m just trying to break out of that “what the fuck am I in that future” funk …
I’m an old man, being chased by coyotes …
(and that’s pretty fucking lit)
“Doomism is being trapped in fight or flight … that’s what you have to break out of, even if it means fighting.” – Dr. Freckles
“Fear is the mind killer …” – Dune
