There is always hope that we can do better. I often think that we will most likely be the cause of our own extinction, whether by climate change, nuclear war or some other means of senseless self destruction. But new generations are born and each generation can and, hopefully, will learn of the previous generations mistakes and take other courses of action. Don't despair of a future that is not certain. And don't underestimate the potential of human betterment.

Okay but hands down, cold weather is best. Just for the record.

Evolving? Evolving? We're going backwards fast. A huge fraction of our society rejected a safe and effective vaccine and doubled the duration of the pandemic. Such a species has a dim future. Violence is making a big comeback in solving differences. At our zenith, nuclear annihilation was not imagined by most people, now it's back.

I am a multifaceted bitch. I can be concerned about climate change *and* jokingly argue that cold weather is the best. I think you might need to find a psychiatrist for this level of baseless doomthinking though.

What? Yoir post makes absolutely no sense.

Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world, right now?

we are going to be the cause of our own extinction

Sooo...you have anxiety, OP. My own revolves around nuclear apocalypse or zombie breakouts, so I feel you. You should talk to your doctor, but in the meantime, have you tried coming up with contingency plans for natural disasters? I find making plans helps a lot, even if you don't need to enact them right away.
