I see a lot of hope. I guess the circles we mix in colour our perspective.
Much as I hate on USA culture in general, there are decent folk there furthering the ambitions of our species. Artemis 1 is still expected to launch by mid 2022.
There has been a massive shift toward combatting climate change. Although no truly meaningful commitments have been made I believe the path has been laid.
Even conflict over Taiwan is only likely to result in a proxy war, albeit a more expensive one than the wars in the middle east. Fear sells papers.
It's not that I have faith in people, or society. Instead my faith in the success of our future comes from the financial system and the fact that space is the eternal financial boom.
Laying flat.
