Every generation had a real or perceived existential crisis that might have prompted this type of mindset. The Great Depression, World Wars, Communism, rock music, nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, global warming…
This latest one isn’t going anywhere, and humanity will almost certainly find a way to make it ‘work out’.
- lenerdenator 3y agoYeah but there was a metric crapton of suffering in those crises. Well, except rock music and nuclear energy.
- greggsy 3y agoI don’t doubt it, but like I said it’s not going anywhere, and the next generation will be more prepared than ever to tackle those sorts of problems. Also, I’d argue that rock has caused suffering. It’s indirectly responsible for the middle-of-the-road (MOR) genre, and directly responsible for Nickleback Smashmouth.
