  1. The worst is yet to come... nice feeling to have. xD Agreed with the overload of information - we might not be in the definite worst year in human history, but we're likely in the most anxiety driven one... because nowadays we know about even minor disasters happening all around the globe, political situations, wars, etc. Well, at least the information is at reach for far more people than any point in history, despite still being a privilege for the majority to get it. We are also keenly aware of how likely global scale disasters are coming in the future, and how little we can do about it... how the systems and cultures we have in place today are actually helping us to go faster towards it. We're also probably in the most interconnected and interdependent global situation we've ever been, built on assumptions that change wouldn't happen fast enough to break it all up, but waking to a reality that this really isn't the case, and there interconnect can be very fragile with relatively minor things risking it all... pandemic, local war, a ship getting stuck, localized Climate Change effects, panic or anxiety driven overspending... I won't be around anymore to see it... but I'm fairly certain that in the next 100 years or so there will be some year that will trample it all. 2-3 plus extra degrees of warming, multiple amplified natural disasters displacing millions to billions of people, resource wars for survival making a huge comeback... and then we could have major eruption, earthquake and tsunami events, perhaps another pandemic and a Carrington level geomagnetic storm event, perhaps some cascading effect that comes with all the warming that we're still not sure how it'll go, like a shift in deep ocean currents, flipping of magnetic poles, cascading species extinctions... who knows, right? Heck, even nuclear war isn't out of the table anymore. We aren't even close to the breaking point devastating effects of climate change and we're already back at a cold war situation... I can't have much hope things will get better when Climate Change gets to it's worst point. Anyways, doom and gloom with Joe. xD Though I have to say, from a different perspective, perhaps it'd be best to say we lived though a rare if not unique century of relative peace and prosperity, right? I mean, we certainly had problems, weird to say that with the pandemic and war... but were there any centuries that were better than ours? Well, given that we're only at the beginning and it'll definitely get bad by the end of it, but still.
