Otis Scops aka Crash CourseIs there a correct emotion for the times?I mean, everything is crumbling. You name it. Democracy, the environment, our ability to feed ourselves. Pandemics. War.The irony is we're as close to peak human civilization as we'll ever be. Compare our lifestyles to those living 50 or 100 years ago. Compare to most humans throughout history. Besides the gadgets, we live more comfortably than even royalty just a couple hundred years ago. Most certainly, we're better off than the pre-babyboom generation.I say we're close to peak human civilization because the peak probably occurred 30-ish years ago. Each generation after the boomers has had it worse.read complete post here:<a href="https://www.collapse2050.com/happiness-is-the-best-revenge/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.collapse2050.com/happiness-is-the-best-revenge/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doomer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#doomer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#collapse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrashCourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CrashCourse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Happiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Happiness</a>

Uva🍉🇵🇸🍉I sometimes hear or read, the claim that doomerism is a problem (especially related to climate change). I partially agree that it is a sentiment that can lead some people to do be less engaged in making meaningfull change. But I think it is more important to be careful when claiming another person's statement is doomerism, because things that can seems like doomerism, are often the antidote of a sentiment that is a far bigger problem than doomerism, namely false hope or false optimism. What I mean by false hope, is the belief that everything is going to be alright, even without significant change to the structures that are causing the problems. An example of this is Green Growth, the belief that the best way to solve climate change is continuous economic growth (as measure by GDP), while directing the production and infrastructure to more sustainable technologies (e.i. renewable energy and electrical vehicles). Green Growth is a false hope, since it is unrealistic that maintaining the global growth based economic system can lead to a sustainable economy fast enough to limit climate change to a level that will not lead to a global economic and social colapse. Dismissing a false hope, is not that same a dismissing hope. On the contrary, what gives me hope is that more and more people is lossing hope in our current system. In order for radical change to happen, more people need to be motivate to have radical change. False hopes are what allowing people to feel save and contented with the current system, and dismiss the need for radical change. Therefore I say, let us lose false hope so the future can be hopefull. And next time see something that seems like doomerism, ask if they are lossing hope in the current system, or lossing hope in general.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#degrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FalseHope" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FalseHope</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doomer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#doomer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#doomerism</a>
