To me, the doom drug is addictive because, like many I'm guessing, there is a sense that something is wrong. It's like driving without directions, and you just have a gut feeling that you are going the wrong way.

I latch onto doom and prophesies in order to be "ready" for what comes. Trying to be prepared for whatever it might be, so that I have a chance to survive, and save my family, if that's what the best choice is.

I seriously feel that the path we are on as a nation, as a civilization, as a society, as a planet, is moving towards darkness. We can't sustain the growth, the discord, and the financial system if it continues this way.

That's just me, and my fancy tin foil hat.
