However, reading the replies of people explaining their personal situation, along with blood type and "IQ" score, whatever that means, says otherwise. It seems people really are tired of their current situation and really WANT a change, regardless if they have a "feeling" or not.

No I'm not. I was addressing the "vagueness of some non specific anticipatory feeling". All that stuff you just said was cool. Don't expand what I tried to say to encompass loss of interest in life. Far from it.
Now I know I am supposed to live every day like treating people as well as I can, which includes telling them stuff that isn't so popular. I know that. Old people are not popular anymore for a reason. They may seem cranky or disinterested from your perspective, the perspective of youth. Yes, you are young...

The sharing of personal data like blood types is an attempt to find something we all have in common besides feeling the feeling. (No such correllation has been found, as far as I can tell.) And yes, I'm sure virtually everyone on Earth wants a change, because things are pretty bad all over (thanks to The You-Know-Whos That Be). But this isn't that. It might be related to it, but this is different.
Someone made the "Close Encounters" analogy earlier; I can't think of a better way to put it. We are all Roy Neary tearing our hair out, seeing glimpses of things that make us say "This means something!" He was an absolute wreck until he suddenly ripped the top off his mountain model and saw it. Even then he didn't know what it was until he saw the real thing on TV. Only then did he know how to act upon it. Only then did he finally know what he had to do, or where he had to go rather. We have not had that epiphany yet, so we're still hunting for the meaning to it. And only then will we have any clue about how to act. In fact, like Roy, we won't be able to stop ourselves from acting. Everyone's going to think us quite mad (if they don't already). But until then, the only thing we can do is wait for the epiphany that tells us how to spring into action. Y'see?

You mean, we're all seeing psychic visions of the future? We see it coming, but through a glass darkly as it were, and don't know what to make of it, but we know we have to be ready for it? Perhaps. It's as good an explanation as any (and right now we don't really have any explanations). Personally, I've never been prescient, but who knows. It might be an awakening ability in some people, but not everyone. It's just as likely as all of us (up to 142 now ) being members of the 144,000...
it was not about missed opportunities but like waiting on humanity to evolve. And how do you go out and make something like that happen?
