Wishing apocalyptic scenarios on the world is very childish, stupid and shortsighted. Just because some people are suffering now doesn't mean all people should be suffering later.

I'm still not seeing the childish aspect? And all people wouldn't be suffering. And I do not equate economic collapse with "apocalyptic scenarios".

It's actually not stupid or shortsighted either as I've thought this out quite a bit but I see how you could assume that based only on the bit I wrote above, which was actually supposed to come off more tongue in cheek or sarcastic than I guess it did. Oh well!

The childish aspect is you putting yourself before others.

I see that more as selfish than childish. I guess if you think the two mean the same then I can see what you are saying, but I see them as different terms.

It's childish because of the scale of situation itself. Selfishness could be small scale. Everyone is selfish at some point. Childishness is when that selfishness reflects "The world revolving around you" aspect.

Hm, interesting pov. I disagree but thank you for clarifying.

What if I were to argue that economic collapse was somehow best for the country and thus I was actually putting the whole before my own needs? Type of war time justification thinking - lots of deaths now lead to better lives for everyone later.

Please tell me you're just playing devil's advocate and that what you just said isn't something you actually believe in. It just sounds reeeeaally off to me.

It's a line of reasoning I've seen used before, repeatedly in the military. Death today so that our loved ones may live tomorrow, and the like.

Shouldn't you have military benefits to help with that massive debt?

This isn't devil's advocate. This is goalpost moving to make the OP look better.

Nothing can make the OP look better at this point.

They'll try. Probably by mentioning being suicidal again.

Another childish aspect could be your attraction to seeing the economic system get torn down completely. Almost like toppling a tower of blocks.

Hmm but I think you're assuming a lot about my motivation and reactions. It is interesting how much people assume based on small amounts of data. No real assumption is necessarily wrong, but neither are they right. Fun!

Well, let's make some more assumptions!

You have a big mountain of debt, right? And a lot of young people in the U.S. (I'm assuming that you're young and living in the U.S.) have gotten their big mountains of debt from school loans. That's completely understandable. I have student loan debt, too. Unfortunately, your mountain is so deep that you've contemplated killing yourself, which is horrible -- no one should ever have to think of suicide in the face of debts, and I'm sure that there are people who would be devastated by your death. I really, truly hope that you aren't considering it anymore.

So, for what did you go to school? You must have had some kind of career in mind, but for some reason (the terrible economy, few job openings, sudden tragic events) you haven't been able to make your way to that career. Things look entirely hopeless. The future holds nothing but debt and toil to ease that debt. And the U.S. economy may still well collapse.

In this case, can we not say that it is a reasonable assumption that a young, desperate person with little hope for the future might feel the irrational desire to see the economy come crashing down, like a tower of blocks, offering the chance to be built anew?
