There are still very large project going on in the world. Libya's irrigation project (35th year and still going); various rail projects; International Space Station. I'm not so pessimistic.

Interstellar travel, colonies in space, traveling x10 faster and reversing ageing are comparable to the scale of the atomic bomb, the first space missions or the microprocessor. You drank the kool aid "everything is progressing so quickly".

Keeping up on medical news? Aging issues making progress weekly. Colonies in space? How many different billionaires are working on that now?

How did Lybia's irrigation project continued to move forward with the civil war and subsequent local conflicts?
