Time moves one direction. That said, there are many historical examples of societies declining into insanity; ours is not the first, and if humanity survives this bout, ours will not be the last. At some level, we must put some spiritual distance between ourselves and it as a survival mechanism. Sit back and watch the show. If we identify too closely with a sane result, the energy we spend fighting the reality (currently insane) is unsustainable. Suicides right now (either explicit or drug overdose) are through the roof. Don't be crazy ourselves, but also don't bang our head against the "crazy wall" too hard. It's a delicate balance.

I've came close to killing myself several times feeling the urge to jump off a bridge and end it all when I see the shit hit the fan BUUUUUUUT one look at Revelations and everything lines up biblically speaking and the eclipses we had in 2017 fullfilled some major stuff that finalized a lot about the virgin in the sky. We actually are real close to the estimated population in the days of Noah which was around 5-7 billion. We are now approaching fast 4 billion in the next 10 years. Even if things were peachy and people had moral values and God in them we are still approaching the end in general. It's like going from 32 bit to 64 bit. Do we do it peacefully or do we do it messy like Microsoft?

You might want to check those numbers, the current world population is roughly 8 billion

In that case it really is time to wrap things up. The rich are rightfully afraid but have the entirely wrong methods that won't fix anything at the very least.

Agree with you there

What they have is partial knowledge and think they know 'enough' to make informed decisions and refuse to allow feedback.

In other words one way or another we cannot continue to play in 32 bit land (unless we use a virtual machine) anymore. It's time to move to the next graphical level. It was fun playing Pac Man,Ocarina of Time and Breath Of The Wild but I'm all ready for the next gen level of things which we are being denied entry. Would Link and Pacman get along or would Link get addicted to eating pills and blow Pac Man up alot?

The 32 vs 64 bit conundrum has nothing to do with computer graphics but otherwise you point holds up.
