I\u2019ve lost that fire. After nine years of this, I\u2019m burnt out. I no longer have that passion driving me. What will be will be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think that burnout is something a lot of us feel \u2013 we find out what\u2019s going on in the world, get outraged, and then gradually realize that we\u2019re like old men yelling at clouds \u2013 all of our indignant anger isn\u2019t worth shit and it isn\u2019t going to change shit. We slowly burn out, realizing that the world is simply unjust and there\u2019s not a damn thing we can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>That sentiment is echoed in the comments of many posts on TBP, ZeroHedge and other similar sites \u2013 \u201cWe KNOW everything is fucked up, what do we DO about it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s have that discussion \u2013 what DO we do about it? Because the reality is that people can change things, it happens all the time. But it\u2019s not going to happen commiserating with like minds on an internet forum. So how do we cause change?<\/p>\n<p>Here are my thoughts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Develop a vision<\/strong>. Anyone can bitch about how things are. But unless you know what they should look like instead, there\u2019s no way to incite change. People need a target \u2013 they need to know what they\u2019re working towards. Just saying that things are bad now doesn\u2019t give anyone any actionable information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get out of the echo chamber<\/strong>. There\u2019s great comfort in commiserating with fellow red-pills, but hiding away in our doom fortress isn\u2019t going to change anything. If there\u2019s going to be change we need a much larger movement, which means going out and preaching to the unconverted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to deal with doom burnout In the intro to a recent post on TBP, admin said the following: I love Denninger\u2019s ability to be outraged day after day and his continuous rage against the machine.
