George Carlin would say that the world is fine it's the people that are the problem. So the world is not going to hell but the people are. The people have choice and can choose to experience heaven or hell. The earth isn't going either way. If you can realise what magic is then you can understand the manipulation of the subjects state. From a subjective state you perceive from your programmed preferences. This can be manipulated if you don't understand it. It is said that the high priests of Egypt could turn a stick into a snake. Did they actually turn the stick into a snake or did the witnesses perceive the stick as a snake? Have you ever been scared by a stick? I have. The modern day magicians cast spells on us daily to keep us trapped in fear. Ride the tiger, it only looks like a tiger. Bring it keepers of the gloom! Spooks have no power in the real world.😁
Astrologically, Earth began in a blazing fireball and is calculated to go out in the same manner in several billion years. Personally I'd try to enjoy the bit in between and see if we can make it to another planet at some point before we're all toast.
