Discussion: Society is dying out on a centuries scale unironically. How do we survive and prosper in the aftermath?

Most of the population is man and women children whose only life skill is consumption. On top of that they are all fat fricks and butt ugly. The bottom class was already a failure and now the middle class has collapsed too. Only group going up is the top 10% of the world's population carrying everyone else forward. The scales are broken. The average person is gonna live and die in a pod. How do we survive and get through this dramabros?

Warning, about to reddit cringe post: unironically embrace stoicism. Live a good life, vote, make money on the off-chance you might be able to afford to upload your consciousness or live forever (bc I know you love that futurism shit bb). Try to make the people around you's lives better but don't worry too much about how they experience reality. Ignore everything you do not have control over, put your effort into the shit that actually matters.

Worrying about anything else is silly, bad for your health, and usually just devolves into wingcuck posting.

thanks I appreciate it and already have been following it for some time. It's just that it doesn't feel like enough at all.

You should read Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus, and then Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.

Remember in life you should look for eudaimonia, and not euphoria.

I think A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by Irvine is a good start personally, then move on to good recommendations like yours. It's written as an entry-point and it does a good job. Trying to navigate something like meditations with little background/historical knowledge can be a pain.
