I admit I was a very materialistic person and honestly never happy about my life. I thought materials and completing set of collection of things I want to buy or want would eventually make me happier. I realized that that kind of things would never make me really happy, but some special real-life experiences and meeting with new encounters or starting some new relationships actually seem to make me happier.
I realized that in this trip and meeting with great professors at the University of Wein and Zurich. I collected about 400 pairs of shoes, 30 computers, etc., but that never made me happier, I was always depressed and worried about my health and natural disasters.
Now, I am thinking about selling most pairs of shoes I own and my clothes. I have many hi-fashion brand shoes, suits and pants, but they are just useless here, in fact, they are now just giving me some serious headaches as many scientists think a huge meteoroid will hit the Philippine Sea and that will trigger a huge quake and destroy most part of the East Pacific.
If that really occurs, we will lose the internet, money, banks, all network systems and even smartphone connections. That means no more smartphone, no more banking, no more money or currency that just become some papers or numbers that can never be used for anything again, no more shops, no more universities or schools, and the material things like TV, PC, shoes, brand clothes, etc. will become completely useless and actually kind of a big burden on our shoulders as we will have to run away from this area of Japan as fast as possible to the safer part of Japan or some other country. Many local geophysicists believe Okayama will be one of the lest affected place in Japan. If I need to buy some big field for agricultural business and my new house, and must run as fast as possible to Okayama, then I think I will have to get rid of my shoes collection and most of my clothes as I will never need them again. I hope it will not become true, but now more and more scientists predicting this might happen in the next July and that may really end this world as we know today.
Initially, only some cult leaders and dubious YouTubers predicting this sort of thing, but now even real professors or geophysicists and cosmologists talking about it.
This really makes me scared. I am not sure I can live like a peasant and grow my own chickens and vegetables and berries, but I may have to do it, that really really scares me.
I never lived my life without any PC or Mac, I am so used to using so many phones every day, if I lose all those modern techs, what should I do and how can I live? I think agriculture and bakery, and I may have to learn how to start growing my own foods like my mom did. Many scientists predict the Philippines, Taiwan, most part of China, etc. will go under water, and may even become like the lost Civil in the sea that Graham Hancock (who I used to mock about) and Rundle Carlson always talking about. The modern civil is very fragile like Robert Schock thinks. He may be right we are about follow the path of the ancient dinosaurs.
