How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better? - eviltoast

I’m really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I’ll coast right through it. I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers

    In the past we could say that humanity is still doing terrible things but becoming better in the larger picture.

    Back then it was hopeful to think like this because the things we did were terrible but not long lasting.

    The problem now is that the terrible things we are capable of are now world changing and can affect us globally … climate change, nuclear war, AI technology, biological experimention (or even biological warfare)

    50 years ago we had the capability of making decisions or choices that could cost the lives of millions … now our decisions and choices are capable of affecting the survival of our species on this planet.
