I don’t mean better for you or me but better in general. Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment or will we destroy ourselves?

    It feels like everything is going down the drain right now but when you look at the whole human history, this is probably just a hiccup and overall it will continue getting better in the long run.

    And although we missed the mark and won’t be able to stop climate change, humanity will adapt somehow and live on. Enlightenment I don’t know, but better yes.

    But for the near future, I don’t see good things coming…

      I believe that nature will adapt too. Maybe everything is too fast. But once everything will die that cant live in this heat, there will still be nature that developes and mutates just to create a balance again.

      And we will definetly survive somehow. Some poor people with redneck engineering but also rich people obviously. There is always a way. Even in chaos and destruction.

      Yup. You look through history and FAR worse shit has happened in the past, even the recent past. The present though is what everyone has to deal with and that is your burden to bear best you can. Like you said, you see this sort of thing go in waves.

      I know this sounds like a pat on the head but you also have to count your blessings in life and not just obsess over the things that are wrong with it or you’ll always be miserable and never able to find any happiness. To say “everything is shit” is as unrealistic as saying “everything is wonderful”.
