  2. “ Everything will ‘spiral down’ and become ‘unstoppable’. Note the emotional, fatalistic language and the focus on the nemesis”

    That’s alienation… the person saying that is somehow alienated,,,

    All doomsday type language is caused by alienation in the person saying it…

    Stay somehow connected to society to avoid this..,

  3. Everything will trickle down... note the emotional, hopeful language and the focus on fabulous wealth.
