You could say this is the anthesis of clickbait. Let's call it "anti-clickbait".
The reason why I mention this is many headlines on social media like YouTube and Medium talk about "the upcoming collapse". Nothing can garner clicks with the headline touting economic and financial peril. Of course, most of these doomsday promoters are always wrong.
Unfortunately for their agenda, there will be no widespread collapse. There never is. No matter what period in history you choose, there was not a total wipeout of everything. In fact, there are certain things that excel while others go down.
At the same time, there never is a systemic collapse. That doesn't means aspects of it will not implode; that happens quite frequently. However, it is never everywhere, in all assets.
For that reason, stop buying into the nonsense.
Now that is out of the way, let's address what is really taking place.
Tough Times Ahead
On some levels, we are in for tough times ahead. The control system, i.e. overlords, is losing. It might not seem like it yet that is how we know it is. They are pushing harder which is telling us they are losing it.
This makes sense as technology is allowing for freedoms we never had before. For example, let us look at American news.
For so long, it was singular: Walter Cronkite was the person who all listened to.
Then we have the big 3: Rather, Jennings, and Brokaw on the nightly news.
After that, we saw the emergence of CNN, followed by MSNBC and FoxNews. Each had their "stars", which further spread the message.
Now we have an assortment of independent media outlets. There are people on YouTube with channels. Many like Russell Brand and Glen Beck operate their own outlets. There is a host of content on platforms like 3Speak and Rumble.
In other words, people can get information from many sources. This is a problem because media control is one of the major components for totalitarianism.
Here we have the positive. The negative is that confidence in governments are eroding rapidly. This means they are losing control, pushing things into dangerous territory we see this decline. There are going to be governments that collapse.
Of course, this does not mean the end. We saw this many times before. It will be a major nightmare but something else will replace it.
Our only hope is that we see an improvement.
Always An Opportunity
We are always presented with opportunities. Out of catastrophe often comes the greatest breakthroughs. Here is where those who are agile, creative, and smart can excel.
There is no doubt we are going to see economic destruction in many areas. As stated years ago, my focus is on the EU. This is ground zero for economic turmoil. Life could get very difficult for many these, especially those who depend upon the system for sustenance. Organizations like the WEF are going to fail. Unfortunately, its proponents are making some lofty promises, ones that cannot be kept.
Technology is a great equalizer. This is something that has not been available to the masses. Yet, as we are seeing, especially over the last couple years, things are moving quickly.
Blockchain is teaches us how much different the digital world can be. It is the foundation of the shift into Web 3.0. This is tied to cryptocurrency which many feel will morph into the tokenization of most real world assets. A new financial system is being constructed. This, of course, does not make those who are benefitting from the old one happy.
Cycles
It seems we get the doom and gloom with most election cycles. The consensus is that things are always dire. A big part of this is fueled by the media. After all, collapse (or whatever is the bad news) generates clicks (or eyeballs).
Things go in cycles. When there are tough times, it is a form of rebirth. Yes, we see companies go out of business and people lose money. However, we also see disruption in spite of the economic pullback. The business cycle is ever present. At times it is going up, others down. It is simply in lockstep with human nature.
Even in the midst of devastation, there are areas that are doing well. We have to keep this in mind. Governments are turning even more tyrannical because things are being pulled from under them. It is why technologies like blockchain are so important.
We are creating an alternative system, something that affects so many areas of society.
So, yes, there will be some things that collapse before our eyes. However, we have to remember, there are always safe havens that not only protect us but where things are blossoming.
