[quote=UCGal]oartypup left the building for her ranch in another state a while back. With her gold/silver/guns/farming supplies. She was the biggest doomsayer.

Well, at least we’re interesting.
PP had an interestng take, though it was lacking an academic/historical perspective. She was stuck in the secret cabal planning evil deeds which has a little truthieness to it yet at the same time irrelevent. There are plenty of social scientists throughout academia with studies on societal collapse/evolution. Hell, history is littered with failed systems so we have plenty to study. Couple that with the ample scientific data on the earths physical systems degradation. You add it all up and say – it’s fucking over. The truth is we don’t know what we are doing.
Though, this setting up a “doomstead” with solar panels and a bomb shelter is, IMO, a product of the hyper-individualistic capitalist mind. People seem to find easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. They think if modern-industrial society malfunctions people are going to turn into brain-hungry zombies. Zero faith in humanity.
