My brain isn’t into the future because of climate change, the threat of WWIII/nuclear war, The Economy, possible future pandemics like the one of 2020, and not being able to retire until I’m 70. But please do Gee Wiz me all you want about logical fallacies, nautil dot us.

I genuinely think that is optimistic. I'm not at all sure retirement will really be a thing in a couple of generations.

Certainly the 20-40 year retirements that are dangled don't seem likely for many people.

Well yes. Exactly.
