No I find that line of thinking cringe and a terminally online position
Ill bet i touch more grass than the average lemming-i just enjoy conversation with others with differing views.
I don’t think a terminally online view necessarily implies one only spends their time online but that their opinions or a set of them are formed based on online discourse.
And to extend my view for the sake of conversation, no I don’t think that view makes sense to me for two reasons. One the world has had many catastrophes throughout history that felt very world ending. I think global warming is going to seriously alter life as we know it but I hope it’s not the end of the human race. Regardless I will not live with a pessimistic view drinking myself to death because of this fact.
Two, if you want an alternative view I’ll give you my Buddhist one. Life is shaped by birth, death, rebirth, and causes and conditions. There is so such thing as the end of anything.
