The story consists of two parts. The first describes the events that took place on Earth from a few thousand years to a few million years after the present day. The climate on Earth is getting warmer and warmer, oceans are slowly disappearing. People are gradually moving towards the poles, becoming more and more barbaric. Mankind is steadily dying out because of the lack of water, until there are only a few decades left.

The second part starts in a small village in the desert. There is only one man left in the village: young Ull. A very old woman, the only company for the man, died just before. Ull starts a journey in search of other people using his knowledge of old legends. In a few days, extremely thirsty and tired, he finds a small settlement. Ull enters one of the houses and finds nothing but a dried-up old skeleton. Depressed, he starts searching for water and finds a well with a little water in it. Trying to reach the string to pull up a dip-bucket, he falls into the well and dies. And after the death of the last man, mankind totally has vanished. A farce, named "evolution", faces a natural conclusion.

Beyond climate change and biodiveristy loss, there is also economic instability, debauchery and the evil ways of the elites that also concern me on a daily basis.

This type of thing happens periodically, there's no complex system that doesn't eventually get destroyed by the counterbalancing forces of chaos. Imagine living in Europe during the black plague, where like 30% of the population got wiped out, or imagine being forced to migrate massive distances with your tribe as the ice age dawns. Imagine the collapse experienced by central american civilizations when europeans showed up.

You're such a fucking immature retard, if you ever live outside of mommy's house you will see how. The common man has nothing to do with "growth" and gets no benefit from it, we only want decent jobs and living conditions. Growth has only ever been for the rich, like your hero Greta, and even if we do shutdown our economy it'll be just like corona where they close small businesses and protect multi-billion dollar companies, and nothing would change. You and I have no control here, the difference is you are being a huge whiny faggot instead of doing something with your life.

I'm mid 30s and I have the strong feeling I will die violently in the next 10 years, if I don't kill myself first. I've always looked at "preppers" like they were crazy but lately I have the same nasty feeling that things will get really ugly soon. I think >>18815015 is right.
When Bezos went to space I unironically thought the base idea is for these mega rich people to leave for some space station, they could be making tests, who knows. Not that I believe this but that was my first thought.

Imagine thinking I’m the one coping. You are DELUSIONAL, a literal parody of a Kracht novel made manifestly real.
