I'm a horrible person. I admit it.
Some days, like today, I cross the line into collapsitarian territory, and I'm not proud of it.
I get excited by the prospect of a Carrington-level event. I know it would be bad. I know I might not survive. Oh well.
I also find myself almost hoping the worst candidate "wins" just to speed up the collapse. Bring it.
This isn't new. I was thrilled by the prospect of Y2K for the same reasons.
It seems like everything is broken, but no one wants to admit it and do anything that has a chance of fixing it. It would be too hard; too painful. No, let's just keep this monstrosity propped up for another day- another year- another decade. Ignore that the longer it goes on like this, the worse the collapse will be.
When I see the stupid and evil that some people advocate, I think there's no hope. Might as well wipe the slate clean. Whether to start over after that is a separate discussion.
Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.
Your honesty and authenticity is admirable. I've long appreciated your ability to bring clarity to difficult and touchy subjects. Things are tough. No doubt about it. But you are making a difference.
