The cynicism for me at least is a result of reality actually getting markedly worse (at least in the USA) over the last 10 years.

However, none of that has anything to do with fusion tech, so I remain hopeful about that!

It's admittedly a 12 year old YouTube, but I always liked watching this when I was feeling especially cynical about the overall trajectory of the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo

Before clicking that link I wondered what I would recommend to people who were feeling cynical about the world. It's a book by Hans Rosling - Factfulness, and it turns out that's the guy in your video.

Sadly he is no longer with us to let us know how things have gone the last 10 years :(

I think it’s worth examining what we believe to be “reality”.

If your reality is the Internet, the apocalypse is upon us.

I’ve spent the past year reducing Internet one and increasing immersion in my local community and the world looks like a very different (better) place.
