I have no doubt that we can create a really miraculous future. I am just increasingly pessimistic about our collective desire to do so.
So what if there’s a low collective will at the moment. Do your part to be part to grow the collective will to good. Go volunteer for a good cause (food bank, community organizations, etc.), donate to good causes, just be friendly to other people you see.
Pessimism that leads to a self fulfilling prophecy is irrational, but you still need a win. A win is fuel.
