How much of it is in our own heads?
Our view of the world and its future is highly influented by our personal experience.
reddit.com: Energy, food and economic fears looming, new survivalists prepare for the worst
Here’s an interesting anecdote for you. I used to follow a conspiracy site that had a survivalist bent, and for awhile gave serious consideration to the author’s views. (I still read the blog because the author collects interesting news, though I no longer agree with his extreme interpretations.) I remember reading the comments to one post, where three of the comments in a short thread, authored by separate readers, made reference to a significant other (spouse or similar) who had struggled or was struggling with cancer; the article itself had little or nothing to do with cancer. It hit home because that was the exact same situation I was going through. It made me realize that my attraction to the doom-and-gloom had much more to do with my own personal catastrophe than with any looming end-of-the-world.
