You gotta wonder what's wrong with our society...

You have wonder what's wrong with our society when so many people envision a brutal apocalypse as the only solution to our troubles. After Armaggedon, people seem to believe, we're going to settle into some sort of agrarian utopia (after we shoot all the zombies starving looters/suburbanites, that is) and live happily ever after in a world without yuppies, SUVs, or water shortages.

Have things become so bleak that we can't envision things getting any better without most of the world dying off?

Desireable? Because they're convinced they'll come out of it on top.

Best way to keep from being z/f is not trying to go it alone. Interdependence is key, whether you're in a city or the country, whether you're talking TEOTWAWKI, an economic downturn or civil war. That's why I put so much into the Tribe Building and connections. I'm pretty sure I could eke by on my own, but I've got Princelings.
