If, you instead, mean that thinking about the apocalypse will prevent you from thinking about important things, then I do agree. You certainly can't think about two things. But you still imply that thinking about it means just sitting there doing nothing but thinking. I'm sure people, with common sense, could do something and at least try to focus. And, also, even if one is just sitting. Does that imply that there's something better to do?
Of course not.

The wave of apathy that has been overflowing the population of the planet for the past 20 years of this new, digital age is very damaging. Our arrogance has exceeded our capabilities, plain and simple. There are so many flaws in this system of ours, yet not enough people are smart enough to exploit them. The world we live in is nearly entirely virtual. I never said anyone would need to hunt anything, but predatory survival instincts are wired into our brainstem, along with the urge to reproduce, and by being who we are, we are diminishing as humans, and turning into apathetic jelly-bags. Here is an article demonstrating my point: http://www.insidejapantours.com/japa...rive-in-japan/

This is becoming a global phenomenon. The more time we waste thinking of useless shit, such as our mutual demise due to catastrophe, the more we sink into this spell of apathy.

The best you can do with that is what is best agreed on by a group of individuals as behavior that doesn't seem out of place to them, not some bullshit that thoughts degrade us, are you trying to say that leaving a person with absolutely no influences, no stimulation, and no interactions with anything outside of them is "pure"? What do you even mean by pure, that is complete gibberish without some definition behind the way you are using that word.

Also you keep going on and on about reproduction and survival instincts, both of those are becoming unnecessary and even detrimental in today's society. First off we no longer need to reproduce like we did before because we don't need 12 kids to help us work the farm to survive and also 10 of them won't die because we have shit for medical care. Today it is advantageous to have few offspring, it's less of an economic burden, yes we need to recreate our own kind but it doesn't have to be a main point of our life, and you also seem to think we have to deceive and exploit the system to survive now.... what the fuck are you talking about? We can easily earn enough money to get to a station in life were living is easy, thus surviving in relative comfort. There's no need to ruthlessly pursue more and more by hunting out chinks in the system when working within it is already good enough, seriously what you said is some type of anarchy inspiring insanity from where I'm sitting.

Also you think we are wasting time, did it ever cross your mind that we have more time to waste nowadays? With the simplification of life we've achieved we as humans finally have a considerable amount of leisure time again. Kind of like when our ancestors were hunter gatherers and making up religions to explain phenomena when they didn't have to hunt (wouldn't that be pointless and detrimental in your view?). It's not apathy, apathy is an indifference to what's going on around us, to not care. People very much do care, they want to achieve a position in life where they feel comfortable, not just solely have to survive. So I'm going to state this very simply, you bringing up the obvious absurdity of an apocalypse is you talking about it, you are doing nothing to progress society, you are talking about useless and retarded things and also you haven't gotten any closer to building that undersea utopia out of cat hair and frozen horse piss (which is also a completely ridiculous idea), in short stop raging about people talking about this stuff and just ignore it if it makes you so angry.
