As much as I want to disagree with you, I too have this bleak feeling of inevitable doom. As individuals there is nothing we can do, all the personal changes are dwarfed by the overwhelming magnitude of the problems ahead. In my younger years I would have thought that while the problems seem insurmountable, we as global society will find a solution. The older I get I am convinced that there is almost no political solution that won't be opposed by either big money or irrational nationalism blocking any kind of global solution.

- taborj 7y agoI would posit that at least some of your feelings are due to the nature of information dissemination by today's highly connected, revenue-driven media. Saying everything is fine, or at least not terrible, has never brought as many eyeballs to a story as claiming the sky is falling. Not saying the sky is or isn't falling, just that we have so much ready access to so many sources of information, each with a vested interest in getting you to come view their content - and what better way than highlighting the doom and gloom? - that there is the real situation of bad news overload. That, in turn, makes things seem worse than they are. It's no wonder the suicide rates are increasing.
