We are all animals living in an alien zoo, where they run social experiments for fun. Like installing the biggest idiot as the leader of the most powerful country in the world. And then they watch us like some reality TV show. It’s really surreal what is happening in the world that it must be true.

    You might enjoy Dan Carlin’s book The End Is Always Near. It puts everything in perspective for me - we are not experiencing a weird amount of disaster and failure, this is basically what we’re like. Get used to it.

    Nope. Humanity brought all our problems on ourselves. After we self-destruct, I hope the apes do better

    What we are witnessing is the near-complete isolation of the soul from the truth of everything. We are at the densest stage of evolution, stuck in material bodies and unable to look beyond them. What we see today is the perfect manifestation of it. We will (live) die with so much understanding of it.
