B18Champ 07/15/23 9:04:09 AM #1:	Years ago, I thought the future was bright and promising, but now I am seriously starting to think that we are reaching the end of times. Just look at all the crazy s* that has happened just over the past few years: -First pandemic in over 100 years -Global warming causing scorching hot temperatures all over the world -Russian invasion of Ukraine and China potentially invading Taiwan could lead to WW3 -Severe droughts and massive floods on the rise in US and other parts of the world -Rapid advancement of AI is causing massive panic It feels like everything is hitting us at the same time.

Yet humanity continues on. If y'all have never heard of the Strauss-Howe generation theory, I suggest you give it a look. It explains a lot about humanity, and should make you feel better about the times we live in.
