I grew up during the cold War. We experienced the feeling that you are experiencing regularly.
We have been nuked yet, so you probably won't get hit by whatever it is you think is coming either.

Not sure when.
But for the last 2 month I've been really feeling impending doom. I kinda feel like I'm done and giving up.
Only thing keeping headed forward is my sister and dogs.
I've not had the ability nor the enjoyment of having a little day dreaming and thinking what next.
The book sure feels closed at the moment.
I've wanted to start a thread about it but....
I don't need or want to bore anyone.
And quite frankly have excepted I'm not going to be around for much longer.
The world has changed so much for me since i was young.
Sorry I'm being a debbie downer
Edit: FWIW.. you're thread about moving anywhere right now kinda got to me. I'll stay strong.

I think all of us, even the most skeptical can feel it.
Something is coming. Some feel something very dark and scary. Other see a great reset.
The more I read and watch the more concerned I am as it appears all different walks of people are doing the same thing….
Preparing.
So I ask you, what do you think is coming? I want to hear specifics. Do you think it has to do with the crash of the dollar? More Covid bad news, or other diseases etc?
I also want everyone to remember, no matter how bad things get, there is always good that emerges, always.

IMO, the most likely thing will be a "mysterious blast" on our power grid, or perhaps a "foreign" hack. Both causes in parentheses because I think the government will be behind it.
Although just a book, The Stand by Stephen King, projected that same kind of premonition. Those of the dark side were drawn to Las Vegas and those on the light side were drawn to boulder. I am more, "let's just take this head-on and get this sh!t over with..."

The U.S. is due for another cultural revolution, led by the younger generations, perhaps including a fifth Great Awakening.
There seems to be a 40-year cycle of cultural change in American society. The classic exploration of generational types and cycles, The Fourth Turning, identified a four-generational, 80-year cycle of profound crisis and transformation:

That is the key to success.
The key to success is banning lobbying.

I'll have to read that.
I actually don't like either Vegas or Boulder. The entire state of Florida give me uneasy vibes even though I do think it's beautiful. I'm drawn back to the midwest every single time.

The 40-Year Cycle of Cultural Change
The U.S. is due for another cultural revolution, led by the younger generations, perhaps including a fifth Great Awakening.
There seems to be a 40-year cycle of cultural change in American society. The classic exploration of generational types and cycles, The Fourth Turning, identified a four-generational, 80-year cycle of profound crisis and transformation:
“Since Egypt’s Old Kingdom, up until very recently…civilization has been going down, not up; simple as that. We can follow that degenerative process physically in Egypt; it is written into the stones and it is unmistakable. The same tale is told in the mythologies and legends of virtually all other societies and civilizations the world over…Progress does not go in a straight line from primitive ancestors to smart old us with our bobblehead dolls and weapons of mass destruction; our traffic jams and our polluted seas, skies and lands. There is another, and far more realistic, way to view history. Plato talked about a cycle of Ages: Golden, Silver, Bronze and Iron (or Dark) Age; a cycle, a wave form – not a straight line. A similar understanding is reflected by virtually all other ancient accounts. The best known, and by far the most elaborately developed of these systems, is the Hindu, with its Yuga Cycle, which corresponds to the Platonic idea of four definable Ages.”
It is evident that the original Yuga Cycle was based on the Saptarsi Calendar. It was of 12,000 years duration, comprised of four Yugas of equal duration of 2,700 years each, separated by transitional periods of 300 years. The complete Yuga Cycle of 24,000 years was comprised of an ascending and descending Yuga cycle, which followed each other for eternity like the cycles of day and night.
For the past 2,700 years we have been evolving through the ascending Kali Yuga, and this Yuga is coming to an end in 2025. The end of the Yuga will inevitably be followed by cataclysmic earth changes and civilization collapses, as is characteristic of the transitional periods. The Dwapara Yuga is fundamentally different from the Kali in its spiritual and material dimensions, as can be gleaned from the ancient texts. Hence, we may anticipate far-reaching changes in our environment, and possibly in our cosmic neighborhood, as we transition to this period of enhanced consciousness.
The current upswing in tectonic activities and the increased incidence of extreme weather phenomena may be indicative of the fact that we are slowly entering into a period of volatile earth changes. We need to be aware of these greater cycles of time that govern human civilization, and the changes that are looming in the horizon.
The "American Dream" is not just pertinent to America. After the 2nd world war every global citizen either openly or secretly dreamed to live the excess of the American dream, to travel the world with a camera casually slung across the shoulder oozing success and a relaxed and unhurried attitude, secure in the idea of belonging to the most successful developed nation on earth. But no man is an island and no nation either. America will bear the brunt of disappointment in loss of standard and style of living more than any other society, because they have much more to lose.
