What something?

  Look at the factors in play: -8 billion human beings -the continuing health impacts of COVID -increased frequency and magnitude of destructive weather events -global weather pattern shifts -increasingly dysfunctional governments in previously stable nations -markets dominated by players decoupled from reality -a stock market bubble of immense proportions -the end of the post-WWII order -an interlinked global economy with very little resilience -an increasing amount of war I have no idea what shape the world that emerges from all the above is going to be, but I strongly doubt it will be better than it was. The obvious analogs seem to be the Great Depression and the World Wars. I don't know exactly what will start the dominoes falling, but the current war in Persian Gulf has a lot of potential to do so.

    My main concern isn't how or if we survive, but who we survive as- the rewriting of what the context of being human is the biggest threat to me- imagine social media but spreading increasingly depressive and depraved social attitudes. We need social buffer- and contentment and contextualising media to see us through this, alongside everything else. (A luxury i know as it shows i have a comfortable and stable existence)
