Comment on Do you think that membership into suicide pacts will increase dramatically within the next decade because the world is falling apart at the seams?

No, because it gives suicidal folks a purpose. People don’t tend to kill themselves, only because things are hard. It’s much more vile when things are the slightest bit uncomfortable, but you don’t know why you should endure that. And when the world does actually fall apart, they can become politically active or help out in their local community.

it gives suicidal folks a purpose.

Does it though?

I think that assumes: 0. They are <within viable transportation distance> at the right time 1. They know the viable solution 2. They are capable of enacting said solution 3. It's really just that simple, a real "if everyone carries a bucket" problem not a "faster than we can fix it" problem

Now sure, sometimes it will work out that way especially for the people who have training/experience. Not so much for people who struggle to get out of bed in the morning now, particularly when they may have multiple factors that contribute to that.
