/lit/ - Literature

I told a shrink that it was as if I had been put into a kind of coma just to survive the last 9-13 years and now I was finally coming out and I it was the first time in my life that I could actually speak my meaning without having to be psychotic. And so now I was out, I existed again. And now I would have to deal with all the psychological fallout from all of those years, and from everything before and from all the reasons I receded into some cave in my head for all this time. Like maybe I was halfway to recovering, and that I would maybe be an adult by the time I was 40. Her assessment was that this seemed realistic, but, as she put it, "some people never grow up". This reassured me in a way. It did so less when I noticed this was a habitual formula of hers, "some people never Y". so here I am bb

I've become a hermit, I check virtually nothing, I know virtually nothing. However I feel I should know if the economy is finally in collapse. Has it begun? The reason I should know is I should have some responsibility over my finances. So I come to you, the greatest, the boldest, the vilest. How is it, are we going under?

We just don't know.
We don't even really know likely it is, since we don't know how likely it is for an Earth-like planet to form, how likely it is for it to develop life, or how likely it is for it to go to intelligent life from there.
>BUT DUUUDE SPACE IS LIKE REALLY BIG
And the chances of intelligent life might be really small, it's hard to calculate since we have only one example of it happening, and for that matter zero examples of intelligent life becoming successful space faring civilizations.
