"We are weaker without each other, and so in order to give us that sense of belonging so we could survive without the family, we have been neatly organized into Consumer Tribes and assigned our identities and our desires without our conscious knowledge."

This sentiment echoed deeply with me in acknowledgement to the majority of the populace feeling that way the lonely and "marriage on the rocks" folk. I find strength in the foundation my husband and I have built, build, and work on in our household.

My marriage with him, the investments we make for the well-being of our future generations (our survival if there ever is an economic crisis, again), and the inheritance we've curated to pass along as well makes me hopeful, and makes room for self-improvement.

Man creates his or her own divide. I feel as long as there is no division within your household (whether it's living with your parents, room mates, spouse...or on your own) you will find hope, progress, and the means to survive.

In great catastrophes only 1% can survive. People need to consume less into this "generic world" & think about survival. Put into perspective surviving in a digital sense (through crypto currency) & physically (defense, armor, gold or silver bars), because you always need to have that planned out for yourself (as well as a getaway).

Structure is fundamental: family, goals, values, logic, critical thinking all which people my age (in their early 20s) lack. A shame really.

Glad to have read, seen, and shared your first post aside from your introduction.
