Every day I read how there is a stock bubble, housing bubble, currency collapse coming, the environment is past its tipping point, possibility of nuclear war, open borders to the welfare state are creating havoc, and the nwo and agenda 2030 are right on track to enslave us all, along with many other indicators of impending doom. There are many facts to support all this, and there are definitely bad things happening, but what if it is just hyperanalysis and over dramatization now that info is so readily available and a big disaster is not so imminent? Trump is Satan incarnate if you listen to leftist media, but in reality looking neutrally he is no worse than any other president - they all had pros and cons. Changes are happening and more coming, but is it all as “end times” dire as it seems? Disaster is always imminent and looking back at the past even recently we made it through the economy in 2008 and through 9-11/ iraq etc, are we getting overly concerned about a collapse that won’t happen, or that won’t be so immediately catastrophic? For example, there is a seemingly imminent housing bubble ready to pop in canada- especially bc and ontario- yet in spite of the doom and gloom, Warren Buffet one of the most successful investors of all time bought into it and bet against it- successfully so far-https://www.fool.ca/2017/08/30/was-warren-buffetts-bet-against-canadian-housing-market-crash-right/ If it is really any day now that it all comes apart then we better all live like it will be our last chance - focus on the short term and checking off our bucket lists (which also ironically could make the debt bubble bigger depending on what you want to do, but if it is already imminent...) but if it isn’t, putting in tons of work building a business or working extra for that promotion for example - looking at the long term is important - but why put in hard work for future gain which won’t exist? Is prepping the only long term plan that will matter? So my question is- Are things really as “end times” dire as they seem, or just a bit more of the “same old” amplified due to media - (maybe we just didn’t know or see/hear as much before) and what is the most useful mindset and way of planning going forward in these times?
