ADSactly Analysis - Why Do People Get So Excited About Apocalyptic Scenarios?

in apocalypse •  7 years ago 

Today's world is full of corruption, evils, sadness, and hopelessness.

For a lot of people, an apocalypse is like a new beginning. A chance to make their mark on society (or what's left of it) and rise to the top.
For other people, it's a release. Maybe people were tired of the world, and the apocalypse is their excuse to be released from the world.
Either way, for a lot of people it will be an opporitunity.

Very sad but very true. I do think movies have romanticised the idea of an apocalypse and many of us don't understand the reality of it. If an apocalypse were to occur I think it would be due to a deadly disease, there is nothing cool about being surrounded by dead bodies on a dying planet. Luckily its only imagination and won't be a reality.

Pretty much, that's why I mention people from 3rd world countries have less of this fantasy.

I think for us westerners, there is some collective guilt for trashing the planet / ecosystem, and exploiting the fuck out of the 99% for a few centuries. Karmic death wish?

Yeap, that's exactly what I think myself.... people are enticed by the ability to "start anew"
