The main problem in modern society
« on: February 17, 2026, 12:07:33 AM »
When people debate about the economic viability to have children today, buy a house, etc. The discussion mainly focuses on comparisons between wages and prices. And that's okay. It's obviously important.

But that's not the problem; the main problem is: Stability doesn't exist today. For example: Five years ago, learning to code was the main recommendation; a few years later, it's the complete opposite because of AI. Now every few months a new trend comes and you have to adapt. Soon robotics will come, and physical jobs won't be safe either.

We've reached a point where studying for a degree to have a job is a bad idea because you can't guarantee it will still make sense in four years.

But... buying a house today is an investment of 30 years or more, and having a child is an investment of 20 years or more. And a marriage is an investment for life. How can you make those long-term investments if you can't even know if you'll have a job to provide them in 2 or 3 years, regardless of what you do?

You can't, that's the reality. I think that's partly why people today are mostly focused on the short term, like traveling or having fun. If society doesn't allow people to have long-term projects, people are much more likely to develop a "Carpe Diem" way of thinking.

This instability didn't start with AI, it started decades ago, but it's true that AI has taken it to the extreme.

Just my two cents.

There is a Youtube video entitled: The need for an Imperfect Council by Bishop Roy.
At time 32:30, he states: "There are problems in the family, problems in our country, problems in the Church, problems in our parishes. 
This is our main problem, we don't have the voice of Peter."

Imagine a true pope with authorized bishops and priests. There could be a Consecration of Russia such as Our Lady requested. There could be countries with heads of state such as Garcia Moreno. God will bless such a people.

If you have clergy that call Bishop Roy absurd and crazy for suggesting, praying and working toward an imperfect council and a true pope, you should know that those clergy are helping the Jews in their mad hatred for Jesus Christ and the destruction of His Holy Catholic Church. Read the book, "The Plot Against the Church" by Maurice Pinay, to find out what the Second Vatican Council was about.

It *is* absurd and crazy, but it is not because the idea itself is crazy, it's crazy and absurd because of who is proposing it - i.e. a sede bishop.

If it were some of the conciliar bishops who woke up and wanted to do it, possibly that would be a different story, but maybe not even that would bear fruit. But this is off topic.

What the OP is talking about is a conspiracy that some trad priests warned us about decades ago, even tho they were somewhat  off on their timing and events, they pretty much nailed the moral and economic doom for America and the world thanks to  the commies. One thing that they always insisted upon was that it is only Our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart that can save us. It could be that we are getting close to complete take-over and the current pope knows this by the way he is working to entirely negate Our Blessed Mother.

The main problem in modern society is pride and lack of charity. Pride will lead to instability among numerous other problems.


Helping the lower classes is a sure source of income. It might not be much, but it can be. I'm talking about manual skilled labor fixing things most people can't afford to buy new, and don't know how to do themselves. As long as you can do this work with minimal overhead, you should do well. When new cars and miniature heavy equipment are $70k, putting $5-15k into an old clunker looks appealing. When new houses are $.5-1M, fixing up a trailer looks appealing. I think the next step would be to figure out how you can replace the bank by offering customers a payment plan without charging the bare minimum, if anything for "interest", since you are just getting paid for your service, and most people shy away from relatively low cost repairs due to the high immediate out of pocket expense, and settle for decades of debt slavery they can't afford.

Such skills pay for themselves, when you can then repair and restore your own house, cars, ect.

The closer we get to all hope is lost, the closer we get to deliverance. Let's just pray the all hope is lost stage isn't unbearable.
