Why Collapse is Turning People On

It's 2025, everything's on fire, and weirdly... people are kinda into it. Why do 31% of adults doomscroll daily? Why does disaster porn trigger dopamine hits? And why are we more turned on by imagining societal collapse than fixing actual problems?

This is our obsession with the end times. From the neurochemistry of doom addiction to the sexual psychology of survival fantasies, we unpack why collapse feels so damn good - and what it reveals about our deepest desires for authenticity, transformation, and meaning.

You'll discover:

  • ​Why your brain gets high off bad news (and how media exploits it)
  • ​The erotic undertones of apocalypse fantasies
  • ​How collapse porn became the ultimate control fantasy
  • ​The difference between healthy transformation fantasies and nihilistic escape
  • ​Why we're not really turned on by endings - we're desperate for new beginnings
