I look at the state of the world with Chinese bioweapons triggering plandemics, election riggers pulling off a socialist coup, alphabet people pushing degeneracy, low IQ immigrants overruning most Western countries, central bank inflation wrecking every economy, and the NPC plebes cheering on the demise of their civilizations.

While my spouse and I are both high IQ, based, and hyper-competent...it appears that clown world is overrun by more civilization destroying retards than a Hollywood zombie movie. In a practical sense we could Go Galt and retire to a money fort in BFE to wait out the clown world zombie apocalypse, but that doesn't solve the psychological challenge of watching civilization implode with no hope of rebuilding within our lifetime.

Serious question: how do I avoid becoming a misanthrope who hates humanity for commiting societal seppuku? How do I avoid waking up every day, looking at the shitshow going on, and thinking "I hope you NPCs get everything you want. You can all identify as ponykin while alphabet people rape your kids. You can have your safe spaces until you get thrown in a Gulag 2.0 with a tenner for Article 58. You can have your central banking until you're burning fiat currency to stay warm. You can have your Socialism and enjoy starving. I told you so, now #NoahGetTheBoat so I can watch you normies suffer and die from your self-inflicted problems."

I know that's a disastrous approach to take from a mental health perspective, so I'm hoping someone can provide advice on how to find optimism in clown world.

Is there a glimmer of hope somewhere? A long view I'm missing? Some grand societal pendulum swing back to sanity on the horizon?

It's a malthusian cycle.

Intelligence will continue to decline, it has been doing so for centuries. We've banked a lot of surplus and we're quickly eating at it. Low IQ individuals are the one making lots of kids and their stupid kids will make more. This will lead to a conservative backlash against leftist eccentricities and degeneracies. Depending on how old you are, you might see that in your old age. After that, society will collapse due to an inability to produce enough for the massive population (just like South Africa can't maintain the power grid with their falling national IQ) and generalized famine and death will wipe a large chunk of humanity. Then the IQ will start to rise again.

Or maybe we'll partly break away from the cycle. We'll end up with genetically engineered overlords that won't be part of this genetic crash and will be the shepherds of mankind.

Confronted with this, some people fall into a sort of existential angst/dread or misanthropy. I think it's alright, we're part of nature and there is beauty in that. We are living in interesting, if frustrating.

Have a lot of kids, teach them well and hope they'll have a lot of kids as well. Help your family. That's the least you can do.
