And this in a nutshell is what is wrong with humanity. Tongue

Individualistic, egocentric, lazy and irresponsible. I have nothing against you by the way, but in your sentence I recognize the attitude of many people. As long as they can live their own short life drinking beer, having sex and watching netflix it's all good. Who is left caring for the world we leave behind for our children? The baby boomers have left our generation with a huge burden of debt so their lives were good, now do we want to do the same to the generations to come after us? I'm truly hoping to see the current debt based economy collapse in this life. Not because I'm a pessimist and a doomer, but because the old has to die first before something new and better can be born. I also don't believe it will be the end of the world, just the end of a corrupt system that has engulfed the world and the beginning of something new. You can't have change without going through some pain first.

Not at all, I actually don't have children but people with children tend to care about the future and the world left for future generations.

I don't even think there's going to be a collapse, well, at least for the foreseeable future, like I said, eventually everything dies out, but change over time, little improvements that will add up to something new.

What I'm saying is, I'm not the kind of Orwell guy, I'm the Ghost in the Shell guy when it comes to predicting the future.

People make apocalyptic predictions for the future but in the stone age we only lived to about 40. Life spans are getting longer because things have improved. During the great depression people had a much worse time than under recent depressions. Changes were made to the system that made things better because enough people cared. If there is a big crash I think we will still be better off than people were after the Wall Street crash, and Bitcoin will still be here.
