Do you think you can survive, the calamities yet to come?

Question

Seriously,... Alot of you, including myself,... will either be elderly or 6ft under, when things start to get desperate. The Planet is dying, the signs are in the news every day.

Do you think the future you're working for, saving for yourself and your children will be better? What measures should you be preparing for? When many of the things we take for granted, become scarce and hard to come by.

A lot of the youngsters these days want to party, maybe they're serious about living it up. Because some are aware of the situation & the ramifications of our potential future.

Sure there are some extremist survivalists around, but what about you? How will you prepare for when things get really rough? What can you do?


Its not whether I'm right, but what can you do for yourself - the signs are there to deny or accept.

You do have a choice.

Answer 2

well I think its a little bit far and even arrogant to say that the planet is dying, as if we tiny humans could kill mother earth? I don't think so. We may very well render it uninhabitable for ourselves and many other species for a geological second, but we won't kill it, forget it. 3 and a half billion years ago life started as something like a strand of RNA and eventually became a living cell that could reproduce. Those cells still live today in the oceans, by thermal vents much too hot for anything else to live near, or 100 km up in the sky, where there is nothing but a few pockets of nutritional gas, and just as we came from them, others will too.

As for what Ï'm doing to prepare myself for the struggle for resources: I don't know yet, I'll be applying to medical school next year about this time. If I get in, I'll do my best to become a medical doctor, humanity will always need more of them. If I don't, whatever I do I'll try to teach my kids to be compassionate and responsible people, to pay attention to what is going on in the rest of the world as well as in their own community, and to appreciate that life isn't simply the pursuit of happiness, as so many believe.

Answer 3

I'm inclined to believe that we're not destroying the earth so much as we may just be screwing ourselves over. If that's the case, we really can't prepare ourselves or our children; we don't know what to expect.

Also, it's a pretty established notion in the field of psychology that if you look for signs and the meanings to events, your mind will either find them, or conjure them up.

I imagine the only way you could conceivably prepare a child for a cataclysmic Change would be to teach him/her all the skills they'd need to survival and how to be as adaptive as possible.

Answer 4

The supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy will eventually suck everything, including Planet Earth and all that puny mankind has accomplished, down the cosmic crap-hole.

Does anything that humanity has accomplished, or even could potentially accomplish, matter, compared to that...?

Jesus Christ is not limited by space or time, and He is the only one who gives meaning or value to our very temporary lives.
