Nearly One-Third Of People Living In North America Believe That World Will End During Their Lifetimes​

In fact, a new study conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia has discovered that nearly one-third of the people living in the United States and Canada actually believe that the world will end within their lifetimes…

Almost a third of people living in the USA and Canada believe that the world will end within their lifetime. According to new research, this could affect how they view the challenges facing society, though this very much depends on what kind of apocalypse the individual is envisioning.

I was quite surprised to learn that so many people believe that the end of the world is rapidly approaching, and so were the researchers…

“Belief in the end of the world is surprisingly common across North America, and it’s significantly influencing how people interpret and respond to the most pressing threats facing humanity,” said Dr. Matthew I. Billet, the study’s lead author who conducted the research as a PhD candidate in UBC’s psychology department. He is now a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Irvine.
The research draws on surveys of more than 3,400 people in the U.S. and Canada. In the U.S. national sample of 1,409 respondents, nearly one‑third said they believe the world will end within their lifetime.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia surveyed 3,400 people, asking them a range of questions designed to measure their attitudes towards risk. Specifically, they looked at risk perception, or how big a threat they perceived, for example, the climate crisis, to be, risk tolerance, or how much they are prepared to tolerate the risk despite possible negative impacts, and their support for "extreme action" in order to avert the risk.

"The extreme actions were devoting 10% of the GDP of the USA towards the risk, instituting martial law, and completely overthrowing the current government and social order," the paper explains.

As well as this, the participants were asked a range of demographic questions, including factors like political orientation and religiosity. The team found some interesting differences.

I think the earth itself will endure, along with Larry Fink, Keith Richards, and thousands of Elon Musk’s children.

There's an element of narcissism in the idea that you personally, out of the hundred billion of so people who have ever existed over the past 10,000 years, are destined to have a front-row seat for the destruction of the planet at some point during your lifetime
 
I have no idea. Maybe a rogue asteroid? Maybe dying from getting fisted by an alien? Nuke war? Maybe. If nukes start flying I would say at this moment it would be Israel starting it by nuking Iran and that would open the door for others like Russia to nuke Kiev etc or even Pakistan/India or China dropping on on US Navy fleet then US sends some back.... It seems 'everyone' is waiting for the first country to use one since Nagasaki then the barn door is open so to speak.....

I do remember growing up in 70's and 80's believing the USSR was going to nuke us literally any minute. Thank goodness I had a desk at home so I could duck and cover.
 
I remember back in 1983 just staring out the window at the horizon and imagining the flash and the mushroom cloud... in retrospect, though, I wonder if the mass hysteria about nuclear Armageddon back then was artificially ginned up by the media to portray Reagan as uniquely dangerous to humanity, because it doesn't seem to have loomed as large in the 1970s
 
I been listening to NDEs while i work. I dont know why but working from home is depressing and the worst so i am torturing myself for reasons / some weird entertainment to kill time.

Listening to NDEs makes a person realise that if the end is coming that they/i got to work on getting my robes clean.

Any of you listen to the NDEs where people go to hell? Seem more go to hell in NDEs then heaven and those people in my opinion sounded like they lived/live better lives then i do.

I sure as hell dont want to end up in hell if that makes sense if the end is coming

Once marked by God can u really go to hell? I accepted Jesus into my heart and person. I took the free gift of salvation.

I do repent and try again all over again but i feel i just repeat the same mistakes day in day out. For now i have tomorrow but liberals make me do regrettable things cause they are asking for it and deserve it

Wouldn't that suck the end comes and i get trapped saying stupid stuff/doing stupid stuff cause of Liberals being demons reasons and God is like nope u cant come here and sends me to hell to be like the new doom slayer constantly slaying liberals all my hell days amd for Gods amusement cause heaven gets boring every now and then.

God be like that boy sure be angry and really good at torturing Liberal demon scum i made the right choice sending him there no regerts

If anyone learns the end is coming in the next few days let me know so i can get my righteous garbs on as i jist aint doing the hell thing. Living with liberal hellspawn on earth is bad enough i aint doing that for eternity
