Title: What gives you hope for the future, if you have any?
Post by: YLLSHTH on August 26, 2026, 01:57:24 AM
I have a very negative view of the future due to things like mass migration, offshoring of lucrative jobs to low cost countries, manufacturing jobs being killed off and moved to China, advancements in artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, hyperinflation due to questionable monetary policy, plummeting fertility rates in white people, rise of totalitarian government in the free world, and all the rest of it.

I'm hoping some of you gentlemen can share me some of the things that give you hope in the future.

Can't have a positive outlook unless you're insane.
There will be no winners except the nepotistic / corrupt / rich. The rest of society will rot away.
Notable exception - high performance, well educated, academic worker bees and clever smaller scale criminals who are able to successfully use digital money... both will be a minority relative to the total population.

Fuck, so it's true. The end is near. But I feel like doctors or lawyers still have a future for the time being. That doesn't really help me though, since I doubt I was ever smart enough for either, and in any case I am 20 years too late.

I envy Brian for being so optimistic and seemingly having inherited a fortune. But he's like 60 years old so I still wouldn't trade places.

I believe in two big issues/problems, world changing slow events: aging of the demographics of relevant countries (China, South Korea, and so on), as in lack of newborns, and artificial inteligence eliminating millions of jobs. Plus the curent state of affairs, regarding the importation of tribal people to the civilized world.

Just do the best you can and do what you feel is right.

You have no control of the universe and your destiny has already been determined. We are in a block universe. Try your best to make smart, well thought out decisions. Look out for yourself because no one else will.

I would recommend you reach out to Vince Goodrum on here. He may sell some supplements that could help you with stress and focus.

Woah! A Jess Z sighting!

Even though your destiny is determined, you would want to make smart, well thought out decisions to avoid immediate harm/trouble to yourself/others. Just because your life may be messed up, doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind and endanger others.

Someone who drinks and drives would be an example. If someone thinks there is nothing left in life for them, because of destiny, and then decided to just get drunk and drive home, because there's nothing left to live for, this would endanger others. And this would not be a smart, well thought out decision.

Jess, just because you think your destiny is set, this doesn't mean you should keep living the way that you have been recently. I think that you should try to clean up your life. Find a way to stop living in your car, get off of the methadone, and maybe make amends with all the people that were hurt by your past decisions. Don't be ashamed to ask for help. There are public resources available for people like you. But don't ask me for help, though. I don't help people who are able bodied, yet don't want to help themselves.

Still makes no sense you stupid incoherent pear bodied sack of shit. I don't think my destiny is set. You do. And if it is set then you can't change it with decisions you make. That's the whole point of it being fucking determined by something else, cock breath. Are you really too stupid to get the difference between incorrectly thinking something is determined and it actually being determined? Would love to run up behind you and kick you into a bus.

I am optimistic.

At no other time in humanity have the people
Of earth as an aggregate been healthier (antibiotics, vaccines, available food and care), educated (the mobility of capital has ensured enough wealth sharing to fund education and growth for people who 100 years ago would have had no chance achieving). Child slavery and labor is all but dead vs even 100 years ago. Wars and pandemics on a per capita basis don’t decimate humanity to the extent they did.

We are closer to understanding the quantum and galactic level scales of the universe than ever before. It’s easy to be scared of AI but it’s much more likely to improve humanity than destroy it.

It’s even likely that if you’re Fermi paradox nerd, that we are likely beyond the gating event for intelligent life (finding intelligent life is far worse for humanity’s future than not finding it, at this point in our species history).

I do remain disappointed in CBS refusing to air footage of the 1980 Olympia.

snx is right, we have it good.

We think and worry because we have it too good. Idle minds wander. In times of war suicide rates go down. We need a war. Total war.

Let's hope Donald and the Juice cause a nuclear holocaust, at least then we don't have any worries anymore. Let us pray.

Your destiny is most certainly set! Everything that you believe about your destiny has already been mapped out. You’re just going through your life like flipping through a book, page by page, chapter by chapter. You not believing me is part of your destiny. So of course that’s what you believe. As you should. And just because you know that your destiny is set, that doesn’t mean you should just make foolish and risky decisions. You can’t just sit back and let life happen and not give a hoot about consequences. And regarding you “running” up behind me. I highly doubt you’re able to run, let alone speed walk.

thats exactly what it means you window licking, penis licking simpleton. If your destiny is fixed then the outcome of every decision is already predetermined so making a more sensible choice cannot alter that outcome. I hate to think what your mom was doing during her pregnancy with you. she must have been sucking down methylated spirits and getting every man at the glory hole to punch her in the stomach

Your destiny is set. But what specific destiny do you want to accept?

I believe our souls have experienced many different lifetimes. And each lifetime is a learning experience for us to grow spiritually. In order for your soul to grow, you need to learn from your past and present experiences.

Your destiny is set. But you still have the ability to decide which destiny you want to experience and how you want to experience it. Do you want to choose the destiny that has you making good decisions in order for your soul to grow? If so, then that is your destiny. And the more times that you choose to make good decisions during your many lifetimes will help your soul grow and heal. Even though you know your destiny is set, you still have a responsibility to ensure others do not suffer from your choices in life.

What life do you want to live? What legacy do you want to forge? What destiny do you want? Make smart choices to create the destiny/life that you want. Think about every opportunity presented to you and every problem that you may face as learning experiences for your soul.
