Warning! What follows is not easy to digest, let alone to accept. If you think that this is all crap, or the very thought of a potential end to this way of life freaks you out, I recommend not to read any longer and close this post. Forget about this topic and live a happy life!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A<\/span>fter a longer than usual intro\u00a0published las<\/span>t week<\/a>\u00a0let me show you the reasons\u00a0why\u00a0<\/em>I came to believe that our civilization is approaching its final descent. As you will see, it is a familiar pattern, one that has been experienced by many civilizations before, and I\u2019m sure will be experienced by many following this one \u2014 for all too common reasons. Although the \u201cend of times\u201d were forecast many times before, remember that the \u201cend\u201d\u00a0did\u00a0<\/em>come eventually for the Romans, Mayans, and all the others before. What is different this time, is that now we have developed a scientific understanding why those previous civilizations collapsed. Unlike vague prophecies in prior times, we now have solid proofs for trends clearly pointing in the wrong direction (if upholding this way of life were the goal). I\u2019ve collected some of these in this article and added my observations linking them into one more-or-less coherent picture.<\/p>\n

I will be adding useful links, scientific research, book recommendations etc. to these topics and keep this post on the top of my page, so it can serve you as a useful guide in understanding what is really going on behind the scenes of this great unraveling…<\/p>\n
