The world has always been going the shit and will continue to go to shit until the end of time. It takes mountains to influence the tides of nations. You should take the responsibilities you can bear, but no more.

    Every generation says the world is going to shit. Sure aspects suck but generally we live in the best times humanity has ever seen.

        Agreed it’s a big problem but there are a lot of people and countries actively trying to fix things. I definitely feel like we are living in the Twilight Zone in more recent years but still overall the average person is living a better life now than any other time in human history.

        In the distance? Glaciers are now only the shadow of what they were. 80% of insects are gone. Bees are lost. Etc.

      We can’t necessarily judge the stability of the underlying system by the material conditions it produces at any given moment.
