Humans gauge their actions by what they expect from the future, and tend to shuttle between idealism and fatalism. When they think things will go well, they throw themselves fully behind conformity; when they expect bad things, they disconnect and do the minimum.

Unfortunately for them, over time fatalism leads to extinction because when there is no success to be had, people live selfishly and in isolation:

Four healthy breeding pairs of mice were allowed to reproduce freely in a ‘utopian’ environment with ample food and water, no predators, no disease, comfortable temperature – a near as possible ideal conditions and space. What happened was described by the author in terms of five phases: establishment, exponential growth, growth slowing, breeding ceases and population stagnant, population decline and extinction.

We hear many reasons for why Mouse Utopia kills off the population, from mutation load to caloric burden, but in the end, it most likely died simply from a lack of reason to keep living.

Fatalism may be a sub-category of despair or simply fear. When you fear that the future has no possibility of improvement, you retreat into yourself, and stop worrying about anything but immediate comforts and pleasures.

Those are compensatory in the sense that you do not get what you really want — a future — so you compensate yourself with little uplifts to make it through the day instead. You might need a $1m house, but a $10 bottle of vodka will make you feel better right now.

This shows us the myth of the informed consumer. Consumers act logically according to their options in time and when there is no anticipated long-term benefit, they focus exclusively on the immediate, easily achieved, and personal.

You could say this is what killed the West. Facing a lifetime of being wagie slaves working to pay diversity taxes for a lifestyle only a few percent can afford, most people disconnected and stopped marrying, having kids, and building family wealth.

The path to extermination may be littered with condoms, wine bottles, vapes, and iPhones.

Worst of all possible scenarios, this fear-despair-instability hits the most intelligent first, which is why they have stopped breeding in the West:

To conclude, being a teenager and having an IQ greater than 130 is not always a pleasure. Our results showed us that the majority of these young people consider themselves as shy, unsure of themselves and claim to have many fears. This is evidence of an increased anxiety component compared to the control sample. It seems important to insist on the need to be able and to know how to identify these young people as soon as possible, in order to propose appropriate therapeutic management.

The dummies, who win the vote by sheer numbers, figured that the productivity of the kulaks was a given and could be counted on regardless of what society did. This turned out to be wrong.

Our Mouse Utopia in the West occurs because life is easy. Gag your way through education, get a job, swipe the credit card, and everything is easy. But you will always live precariously, so why bother striving beyond the apartment and wine bottle?
