sure, but if their community internalizes a "coming Armageddon" and then also go about the daily efforts of life too, then how does that compare to those that "discover" a coming Armageddon and come unglued, rejecting many daily efforts of life and instead flipping out into dysfunctional behaviors (both on self and others). Maybe internalizing a shared story of "coming Armageddon" is some kind of a pressure release and that community overall adapts better through extreme circumstances over time. possible ?
