I don't disagree with any of your replies. I think it's a shame that people in general aren't willing to put in the work to save society before it hits rock bottom, but I also get it... life is hard enough day to day without also having to save society as well.
To be fair, having the stomach to do what might be required next is pretty hardcore... but I'm not sure that retiring to a little farm in the peaceful countryside is really on the cards for many of us anymore.
