9. yes... and I'm still unsure of my future

I am still debating whether it is even worth it to continue going to college, even though my fin aid is approved thru June...what then? I'm 54 and it literally makes no difference now because my "field" is going to be worthless.

Besides, I'm literally 2 1/2 weeks out from massive DV trauma, so peicing my life and sanity back together is the main part of the agenda... I spent all night last night watching my cameras outside because she was released...again...

So burnt out is an understatement.
I think I'll just survive for now...future is way too uncertain and painful

10. It's going to be a lot worse, quicker.

But this time, there will be consequences for everyone.

I'm not sure what our collective capability to withstand
it is, and since Republicans are going to suffer hugely
along with the rest of us, the results will look a lot
different than they did four years ago.

Also, people keep thinking Hitler's Germany redux,
but there are newly evolved elements in the mix.

The dynamics between countries has changed
dramatically. Human societies and ecosystems
have devolved to the point of insanity and chaos.

We could see land grabs and authoritarian systems
grow, which could lead to serious population decline
and suffering.

And climate change will be a factor that no one is
really ready for; not authoritarians, not billionaires,
no one.

It's clear to me that the human psyche cannot
withstand a world turning into so much chaos and
destruction.

It's been moving in that direction since the
start of authoritarianism and capitalism, and the
only thing that can come out of psyches impacted
by so much oppression for so long is taking it as
far as it will go until it cannot sustain us any more
at all.
