A lot of people here are going to try to convince you that the world is about to end when you ask things like this in these places. Currently, there's two emerging and equally retarded camps aligned with the false dichotomy the USA is subjected to: Progressives think the world is ending because of a global pandemic that's killing millions a day and we've never seen anything like this before. They're wrong. Conservatives think the world is ending because the retards think the world is ending which will cause the end of the world because they're going to give away all of their freedoms to save themselves from the world ending. This is somehow more retarded and obviously wrong.
The reality is we've been too indulgent and we've been consumed with avarice, inspiring a complete lack of awareness in both directions. The numbers of deaths and shit are all complete fabrications that is only legal in a gray area. The world isn't ending because of the reaction to the world ending because all you have to do for the world not to end is turn off the TV and tune out of the fear mongering groups touting the end of the world because the other group thinks the world is ending.
This is all a big Hegelian Dialectic move and too many retards are falling for it.
Do you actually want to know? Well, here's the funny part - I agree with most of the peppers. No, I don't think the world is ending. I just think learning to use a firearm is good for anyone. I think learning how to grow some or most of your own food is good for anyone. But I'd like to add to the suggestions of learning to protect yourself, learning to know how to survive in the wilderness and all adjacent areas (which, again, I think anyone can benefit from): Learn about Finance. Learn about Traditional Finance and also Decentralized Finance. Learn to get fit. Don't just eat healthier. Figure out how fasting works and give that shit ago. Also, you should really take the time to get in shape if you haven't. Learn to ignore the news and the bored grifters who get bribes (unwittingly or otherwise) for causing mass panics which inspire attitudes you see here, overgrown children with no ability to discern sensationalism from reality, who all conveniently have an obvious and insatiable Fallout addiction. Learn to be less dependent on centralized authorities. Find out how to be your own bank, your own employer and your own news source (meaning do your own research and quit listening to brainlet parrots on the computer). Pick up a hobby or two that you can do so you aren't glued to the internet all of the time.
I highly suggest you start reading the Stoics. It can help you protect yourself from venomous ideas and people who don't deserve your attention.
... whatever's bound to happen soon?
I swear, you guys only think this because of the synthesis routine where you all get distracted and point the gun at each other and not the people who deserve scrutiny.
