what's left before the world ends



If you are sensitive then you too must be scared by the realization that the world is moving towards its end. Here we are discussing Mark O'Connell's famous book 'Notes from an Apocalypse', which gives a philosophy of returning to life after going through this problem. This is from 2016. When Mark found himself in the midst of a mental catastrophe, he decided that he must get to the bottom of this depression. They set out on a journey to those places where the cataclysm is leaving its marks.


End of civilization

In America there are a good number of people who are busy preparing for the end of civilization. They feel that modern civilization is just a thin shell, which can disintegrate one day due to any shock, such as terrorism, nuclear war or virus attack. And when this happens our food supply will stop. All systems will collapse and there will be massive looting in the cities. So, only those who are already prepared will take shelter in the forests, keeping themselves safe. There, relying only on their natural abilities, they will not only remain safe but will also return to a new civilization.

Bunker for Doomsday

These survivalist people are white, conservative and armed. They hate modern civilization, feminists and Muslims. In fact, these people are victims of such personal and collective anxiety, which takes them back to the utopia of macho muscle power of centuries ago. But this is not just the illusion of some madmen. If you can spend a little money to avoid the cataclysm, then there is a provision for you. Mark reaches the desolate plains of America where Vivos company is selling bunkers for doomsday. Every luxury of life is present in the underground houses spread over hundreds of acres.

The CEO's dream of rule

Billionaire Thiel, founder of PayPal, has been the poster boy of the manifesto published in the book Sovereign Individual that there is no relationship between a democratic system and freedom, that the world should become a network of city states ruled by CEOs.

Interest in New Zealand

For this, a bunker is needed or a country where there is desired land and abundance of natural resources. That place has been discovered – New Zealand. Mark views this development with deep uneasiness, which in his eyes is the naked face of selfish, uncaring capitalism. But why New Zealand? There is a government there, a Nizam and a lot of people already live there. There is no free will to create one's own world there. So it is better to get out of this earth. Somewhere in some other planet where you are the only one, universal, like a God.

Eye on Mars

Tesla chief Elon Musk and techno billionaires like him are chasing this dream. Their language, their temperament is like that of the early colonists who occupied America. They just want to get away from this troubled world, even if they have to go and settle on Mars.

Human strength

The answer we find lies in the experience of a father. By now Mark has also become the father of a daughter, in whose innocent laughter and touch he is witnessing the most tender experience of life. The way a human being is, the circumstances he is in, this softness, this love, care and compassion are such gifts that nature has given him. Our limitation as a human being is also our strength. And this is not something to be depressed about. The world will end, but we are here right now!
