I really don't see the things he does when looking at the big picture. While there's been a lot of violent noise that's been amplified by social media you also have to look at things like a secular socialist Jew being a viable presidential candidate as well as the recent elections of AOC and Ilhan Omar all this after the black mixed guy served 8 years and is still liked by the electorate. As long as there is no energy contraction I don't see the future as being all that bad. On the climate change front I suspect the scientists will be wrong on AT LEAST half of what they claim will happen simply by not taking into account info-machineological changes as well as the fact that the biosphere is not a predictable system.

John Michael Greer is someone more folks should look into as he structures things on a coming long term contraction. I'm 50/50 as to whether he's right or not but even a contraction would not be all that terrible. Providing that it doesn't happen suddenly it could be just what doctor ordered for anarchism and anarchy.

It's good to be agnostic on optimism and pessimism as clutching on the latter does shorten and psychologically worsen life. Always look on the bright side of life as the Monty Python song goes.
