I lost my faith in humanity decades ago, but I'm still here, so I might as well do what I can and try to have fun. If you look around there are a lot of good things that happen and there are good people trying to execute good ideas. A lot of our problems are really communication problems so the trend towards more pervasive communication through technology may be our best hope, even though it comes with some discomfort (and some growing pains).
And compared to most humans that lived before us we can basically enjoy life on easy mode, so be thankful for the unique times we live in. If reincarnation is a thing I figure I must have done something spectacular in a previous life to be rewarded with this incarnation.
I may not have faith in humanity, but I do have faith in evolution. I see progress as driven by energy and our earth as a giant battery that humans found a way to tap. This discovery has led to great gains and placed us in the perch of privilege we now enjoy, but as the battery runs low we will certainly experience the harsh effects of deprivation. We will have to make changes in the way we live while the battery recharges, and before it is charged again we will have gone. But someone will come after us and the game of life will progress.
