We're in the end times bro.

I bet it felt that way in 1944 too.

Have you heard of generational theory? It encompasses a lot more than I'm up for getting into on here but we (taking the liberty of assuming most of us were born roughly between the early 80s and mid 90s) belong to the same generational archetype as the young adults of the WWII cohort. We're both considered Hero generations.

The Fourth Turning is a good book.

We didn't have Nukes and CRISPR back then.

No, but the evil ones were talking about it, planning for it, and rolling out similar things. Sensitives could feel the times that we are living in now, they could feel our tense thoughts.

The same feeling is occurring today because the Earth-shattering events we are experiencing were being thought up back then.

The world is ending, and goody-two-shoes like you need to wrap your mind around this, and quit looking for an insane culture to wisen up.

It's going to crumble.

Honestly, that makes it feel even more scary.

Well, at least it answers the Fermi paradox.

What is that?

Is search hard?

i'd think, even if humans wipe themselves out, there still should be some many trillions of intelligent life forms out in space, that at least a few would end up smart enough not to kill themselves and would want to explore the universe

Information Theory is a branch of mathematics. Those guys would disagree - their calcs seem to indicate super rarity. There's a fair chance that we're all there is. https://ncu9nc.blogspot.com/2014/09/information-theory-chance-and-natural.html

that makes a bit more sense to me, they're saying life is super rare and maybe earth is the only planet in the universe to have it, or it is super rare in the universe where we'd likely never see any life and especially not then intelligent life which must be even more rare. That is different than saying intelligent life is just likely to wipe itself out.
