I use the metaphor of the zombie apocalypse from Natural News.com’s Mike Adams, to describe the breakdown that is now happening. Clearly, most thinkers concerned with collapseology see the need for knowledge to be preserved outside of electronics. One new Carrington Event, and it all could go up in smoke. The millennials are obsessed with electronic gadgets, hate books and this might well be their undoing, especially if an attack upon the internet is the next Big Thing planned by the New World Order Dark Lords.
“According to a new survey of millennials, reading books, using cash and talking on the phone are some of the signs that you are “living in the dark ages.”
Yes, really.
They poll of 25-40 year olds was conducted by Energy retailer Love Energy Savings.
Using cash was the top answer, with 28 per cent of millennials believing that something that was commonplace as little as 10 years ago (and still is in many countries) is a sign that people are completely out of touch.
Presumably, only using digital payments that encourage you to get into more debt and which can be more easily tracked and traced is trendy.
Another one of the top answers, chosen by 18 per cent of respondents, was “reading books,” which despite being linked with increased happiness and carrying obvious educational benefits, isn’t cool.
Going to church and talking on the phone are also seriously ‘dark age’ activities, according to millennials.
The answers aren’t that surprising given the fact that millennials are so unhappy, with deaths of despair soaring amongst the age group, which is more depressed than any other generation.
Maybe if they actually talked to people more instead of sending disappearing Snapchat texts or read books instead of flipping idly through TikTok videos for hours, they’d be more content.
Maybe if they went to church instead of spending all day indoors watching mindless YouTube videos, they’d also be more cheerful.
As we previously highlighted, a different survey revealed that almost a quarter of millennials say they have no friends while 30% say they are always or often lonely.”
It is hard love time; I do not feel sorry for them, and unless they wake up soon, there is no hope for them, being the softest generation yet, even beyond my rotten Baby Boomers. This story from South Africa is instructive.
"A new video has emerged in which a South African woman points out the irony of the only outlet in a shopping mall remaining completely untouched by looters being a bookstore.
After showing electronics and clothing stores that have been completely cleaned out, the video cuts to a book shop that looks totally pristine.
“The bookstore is completely untouched, this is ridiculous, I’m not even making this up,” the woman remarks.
Many such cases!
As Chris Menahan documents, citizen vigilante groups have now formed in huge numbers to fight off looters who have been running rampage for days.
The self-defense groups are also dishing out sometimes violent retribution towards the looters, including by caning and whipping the criminals.”
The looters obviously did not know what a book is.
