Here’s how I think about it lately.
Just because society is falling apart, that doesn’t mean my social life needs to suck.
Nothing ever ends really, not until the last hominid gasps her last breath (and even then evolution may try again with other uplift eligible species).
Someone is going to live through this great upheaval. I predict it will be those who can build and keep good real-life networks of family, friends and general acquaintances.
Let it all burn down. I will sit by the fire with those in whom I see the image of the beloved.
