I don ' t think converting people to the rcollapse mentality is doing them any favors . Don ' t get me wrong , I ' m glad this place is here . It ' s a welcome respite from the torrent of bullshit that people have to believe to stay sane and healthy these days . But I ' ve come to realize that people really do need to believe these things to stay sane and healthy . The knowledge that we ' re about to die isn ' t something most people can cope with . It ' s why there ' s all this resistance in the first place there are myths that we have to believe to say sane , and this flies in the face of those myths . The only solution I ' ve been able to see are selfsustaining habitats which will shelter the remnants of humanity as the planet ' s atmosphere destabilizes . But those will be good for a few million people at best . These days , if someone has found their bliss in denial , I just let them be . Neither of us can do anything about what ' s coming , so why stress them out ? Of course , if they come in here peddling hopium , all bets are off .
