Ten reasons we live in an apocalyptic world

Without fear of being called a doomsday merchant, conspiracy theorist, guilty of misinformation let me give you some real facts about the world situation and keep in mind what happens elsewhere has an impact on this tiny little nation at the bottom of the world.

By way of introduction and to grab your attention I am prepared to say time is running out for humanity. 

Our world and we see it her in this country has become a little bit more like a bad science fiction movie with each passing day, and our self-destructive tendencies are slowly but surely transforming our society into a living nightmare. 

Given enough time, we would destroy ourselves and everything around us. 

On a very basic level, most people can feel that global events are starting to spiral out of control. 

Evil is growing all around us, and just about everything that our leaders do to solve our rapidly growing problems seems to make them even worse.  

The pace of change just keeps getting faster and faster, and many fear that this will soon lead to widespread chaos all over the globe.  

Let’s look briefly at the list of reasons and see if you agree.

#1 Leaders all over the world seem to be catching “war fever”, and the Biden administration just made a military conflict with China even more likely by announcing a 345-million-dollar weapons package for Taiwan.

The announcement was made in response to the news from China standing firm, they will not back down over Taiwan.

New Zealand’s Defence Minister Andrew Little announced he will be making recommendations to his government regarding our defence capability.

When pressed as to where the threat was from, he blundered around but it was obviously China, but couldn’t say. New Zealand is under pressure to choose a side.

#2 Both sides just continue to escalate the war in Ukraine, and now the Russians are openly warning that they could potentially use nuclear weapons.

The former Russian president and Putin ally, Dmitry Medvedev, warned there is ‘simply no other way out’ and said that Kyiv should ‘pray to our warriors’ that they do not ‘allow the global nuclear fire to flare up’.

#3 More pain at the supermarket.

According to the United Nations, 2.4 billion people already do not have enough food to eat.  And now that the Black Sea grain deal has broken down and India has placed severe restrictions on rice exports, we are being warned that global food prices could soon go much higher.

India has now restricted most exports on rice, and now the World Bank is warning we are likely to see “considerable increases in world prices and induce price volatility”.

#4 Be prepared for another pandemic, lockdowns vaccination drives as pestilences are raging all over the globe, and many old diseases are now making stunning comebacks. 

For example, Florida has now become the epicentre for an outbreak of leprosy in the United States.

Covid hasn’t gone away, and scientists are warning of another pandemic next year.

This depends on whether the lab wherever its being manufactured are ahead of schedule or not.

#5 Global weather patterns have gone completely nuts. 

Europe is reporting higher than average summer temperatures, here in New Zealand we are hearing about the warming of the oceans, and we have seen a more volatile weather pattern over the summer. Question remains, is it global warming brought about man made climate change or is it just a continuing evolving of natural weather patterns. Jury is still out on that one but follow the money.

#6 Gender confusion

There is growing anxiety amongst the population of the world and confusion as to who they are and what they are.

Such is the results of gender confusion which has been foisted upon the world with no signs of abatement.

A generation of children are being raised confused as to the role they were assigned at birth to carry out and when you confuse these roles then society will break down and we are seeing the result of this confusion everywhere.

#7 The pace of technology has always been hard to keep up with and can I say costly as well.

We no sooner have the latest thing hit the market and there’s an upgrade waiting.

Technology changes has been good but can also be bad.

Good in the way we can communicate, good in how its assisting science in getting medical breakthroughs although the cure for the common cold still eludes them.  

Technology continues to increase at a pace that is breathtaking.

While there is good, we are starting to see the bad as Amazon introduces pay by scanning an inserted chip in the hand.

Companies embrace Artificial Intelligence like there is no tomorrow.

Once again blurring the line of reality and fiction.

#8 Decades ago, we were introduced to Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned living being.

Today scientists are bringing ancient species back to life in the form of worms which have been frozen for a thousand years.

Thought to have lived in the late Pleistocene era, a small group of the worms found 40 metres deep in the Siberian permafrost have been thawed out and revived.

It won’t be long before an attempt is made to bring bodies which underwent cryopreservation back to life.

#9 Does it surprises you that we are hearing reports of Deaths from heart attacks have been surging dramatically in every age group around the world.

It should come as no surprise but figures being released by health authorities show heart attacks between the 22-44 age group is contributing to the 30% increase.

Here’s the thing, while people are dying, the health experts are still trying to figure out why there has been a rise in these types of death since 2019.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Honestly?

#10 Groups like Green Peace and political parties like the Greens have lost the battle as soils and water are heavily saturated with microplastics to the point its now a crisis.

No where is immune, not even the Arctic Ocean nor neighbouring Antarctica to the incessant growth of microplastic pollution.

With the predicted growth of plastics being produced contamination is expected to increase incrementally.

Given enough time, microplastics would completely collapse our civilization even if none of the other very serious problems that we are currently dealing with existed.

Of course, the same thing could be said about nuclear war, global famine, AI, and a number of other cataclysmic threats that we are now facing.

So, there you have it, my top ten today, I’m sure if you sat down, you could produce a similar ten reasons why our society is transforming into a living nightmare.

We really are living in apocalyptic times, and the months and years ahead of us, dependent upon timelines unbeknown to us promise, to be very “interesting” indeed.
