I wrote this as a comment on another thread, but thought it important enough to share as its own post.

For those of you who so vehemently oppose tick-tocking, I think you should consider that you are failing to grasp the importance of the exact mechanism you're decrying. Bolstering faith is necessary as we wait for the event of culmination (the "singularity") to occur. If enough people stop believing, then the event, when it occurs will have no meaning. If the majority of people have given up hope and embraced the inevitability of evil, then what point is revival? What would we be reviving?

Datefagging serves a real purpose, even if not scientifically quantifiable in its value. It reminds us to get our houses in order, because the end date could be right around the corner. It encourages us to speak up and be forthright with our beliefs, because soon the cavalry will be coming. And the more of us who speak up, the more we realize we're not alone. Belief in the inevitability of winning is literally the way movements form, it transforms belief into reality.

If you don't believe the singularity is going to occur, then it really is a question of "why are you here?" because that's exactly what the Q mythos is about. If you want to blackpill people as a selfish means toward hedging your bets, so that IF the singularity event never occurs you can proudly proclaim "see, I told you so!", then you're not really providing any value to the cause.

It is the same concept as religious faith. If you succumb to the belief that evil winning is inevitable, then you no longer have any rational justification not to join in. That's why faith is the highest virtue. It is the ability to hold on to "good" even in the face of overwhelming odds.
