He don't speak for me. I think we're fucked and I'm terrified.
People fell asleep and don't realize how bad things are getting or the dangerous direction we're heading. We need to focus heavily on positive international collaboration and also prepare for the worst.
Taiwan just elected a president China said 'could lead to war' if he was elected. Russia is still holding on to parts of Ukraine. Drought is limiting the ability to use the Panama canal, and Iran-sponsored Hourthis and the IRG are making shipment via Suez canal very risky forcing shipment around the Capes. Meanwhile the 'world police' just south of us has shown they can be anywhere from "unreliable" to "a security threat" if they vote a popular kleptocrat into power.
Yeah, things are not good.
Yeah and there are also long-term resource constraints closing in because of climate change and environmental damage. Sustainability isn't just some hippy crap, it's necessary for us to continue living on Earth.
As the world's population rapidly heads into completely unprecedented territory, changing regional climates are already stretching resources in many places. When there's not enough to go around, we can work together and/or fight about it. Working together is ideal for almost everyone, but at the end of the day it's not always an option.
