What Happens when the Paradigms of the Human Race Collapse?
Gaining survival support amidst existential questioning.
I turn to the universe or God as process and I’m feeling like giving up.
I’m angry as fuck.
I face extinction.
God, I’m handing YOU my situation: what is this dark night of the soul? How do I process society’s paradigm collapses? I smell death around every corner?
God, your humans are plagued with their extinction. As Yuval Noah Harari wrote in Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, “Each and every one of us has been born into a given historical reality, ruled by particular norms and values, and managed by a unique economic and political system. We take this reality for granted, thinking it is natural, inevitable and immutable. We forget that our world was created by an accidental chain of events, and that history shaped not only our technology, politics and society, but also our thoughts, fears and dreams. The cold hand of the past emerges from the grave of our ancestors, grips us by the neck and directs our gaze towards a single future. We have felt that grip from the moment we were born, so we assume that it is a natural and inescapable part of who we are. Therefore we seldom try to shake ourselves free, and envision alternative futures.”
