Ha ha ha... I swear this is ironic

Thank you for not swinging a political side in this.

Dramatic much?

We're actually getting close to another glaciation, seeing as how we are still living in an Ice Age.

I feel like the news/internet cycle has informed us more of all of this (re: poverty and suffering and disasters) so we feel all-the-more like the world is ending. I think this overload of info also contributes to apathy, unfortunately...

Another post from today talks about how stressed this generation is. I think this ties in. We've been facing nuclear war for 60+ years. The fact we are starting to acknowledge man made climate change doesn't mean it hasn't been going for over 2 centuries. Ask serfs and kings about wealth gap. I think people now just think this is all new or they are smarter than all the humans of history because we are on average more well informed. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be making changes for a better future, it means the future has always been uncertain, we have always faced danger wether from nukes or terrorists saber tooth tigers, cholera or mongol hordes. Few people in history have gotten everything they want from freedom to wealth to time to enjoy it. It's up to you how you spend your life and what you make it's focus, but wether you are trying to better the world or not, worrying gets you nowhere. If earth ends tomorrow you'd have less to worry about, if not its another day for you.

a year old meme?
