Needles & Grooves

We passed that ages ago.

@ayayrawn, I can go with that, it just seems that in the past, while faint at best, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope, I don't see that at all now a days.

And we are all to blame sadly, some more than others. I sometimes feel sad that I brought kids into this madness. But I just try to look at it like life is amazing at times and brutal and cruel at others. I think social media has accelerated the decline. The got you moments and the cancel culture is more than I can take.

Only a glimmer of hope because people remained (by choice) blissfully unaware. Everyone's aware now, and it's only going to lead to more turmoil.

@Twentytwo and the next generation's livelihood is slowly being eaten away by billionaires and bots. It's not a matter of if society shifts to a dystopian landscape, it's when.

That's why we need to go vote, or as the President of The United States of America has recently said, go vote twice!

The silly thing is that we ever thought we were special, that somehow we had reached the "end of history" and that everything led up to us. Call me an optimist, but we humans have always been a post-apocalyptic species, surviving collapse after collapse and rebuilding, sometimes even doing it a little better the next time.

Yeah, and the worst mistake I think we (as a species) ever made is assuming that this existence should be comfortable, when it is anything but comfortable. I'd say there has been 1 decade (collectively) or so in my lifetime that has truly felt like the political scale wasn't tipping, but what I didn't know is that there is always a revolution bubbling under the surface

Pretty sure the rest of the world is optimistic you all right the ship on November 3rd.
