[quote:The science guy speaks 32252683:MV8yMDgyODA3XzM1Nzc2NDc4XzlBNDdGMjFD] Things are bad all over. And if you step back and look at the bigger picture, decay is the way of the world, the entire universe. Everything is decaying all of the time. In the bigger picture. It really isn't a big deal. Time is an illusion afterall. For instance, a distant observer of our earth, depending on their viewpoint, would see the earth as it will be in the future. Which means that from their perspective your lifetime has already passed long ago. This observation is happening now. So you may ask, "If this is true, then what about freewill and choice?" That would be an excellent question to ask. And the answer is this, "The hell if I know". It could be that even the notion of freewill and choice is also an illusion. That is a very real possibility, and by "possibility" I mean "Most certainly likely to be true". I know this isn't a popular idea, but science is science and science tends to be true. Of course, if you don't like this, you are free (or are you?) to choose a religion or something that mocks science and 500 years of physics and the work of generations of brilliant minds repeated and tested untold thousands of times. Sure, you can do that. Whatever floats your boat. It really boils down to this. You are simply a bit sad, you are feeling depressed, and you think society is shit. I would offer advice about what to do, but there isn't really any point. Your choices and actions has already been played out before you even play into the illusion that you have made a decision.

Original Message
I'm relatively young (23), and even I can feel the decay around me. It's like society and morality are just unraveling day by day, slowly but surely.
It's not just me either, but its my friends and family that feel the same way. America today is much different than it was 10 years ago, and not in a good way. What is happening?
Am I alone in this? Can you feel it?
