When you look at the world and what it's becoming what recurring thought crosses your mind constantly?

That I want another one.
Because this world is all kinds of broken.
And it won’t heal itself.

[Levin]

Bit like sage, wish we could go back 25 years. I still remember what it was like.

Outside of that, while I wish I could say I am doing some great deeds. At the moment, the best I can muster, is not to give it too much of my psychological energy, given that's what it feeds off. Awareness and that. I'm trying to be a slightly better person each day.

What about you?

[thegreenyogi]

What a shame that the world is turning for the worst. I'm sorry for the future generations and as for me I try to enjoy what's still good in this world and live the best life I can. And I hope that if one day my own children come along hope won't be totally lost and somehow I will be able to give them the tools they need to survive.

[Levin]

I'm just wondering if it's also a case of perception and what you tune into? Because some people seem perfectly happy still.

Anyway, I always remember this English civil war poster from the 1640s. Soi things can turn around again?

[thegreenyogi]

Of course. Turn around is always possible.

[NoDecision]

That then ending is near.

"in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof."

And that there will be wars and rumors of wars

Doesn't this about sum up what we are seeing today?

[Lynx122]

I don't really have a recurring thought. I think we are in a transition phase and that's always a bit difficult but I'm optimistic. Honestly all the people who are like oh everything was better in the past and it's over, it's annoying. Yes there was a post war boom where the population and the economy had room to explode and everybody was benefitting. Now we live in a different reality. It was not realistic to expect this kind of prosperity to last. But it doesn't mean everything is doomed. There will be something good once we pass through this storm. I hope some of the concentration of wealth will go away and I do have hopes that it will. We'll see what happens.

[Ill_made_Knight]

There are bits of history that I've studied quite a lot and I think overall mankind in general cannot get out of it's own way. We make some progress and then someone hateful has to scream until a bunch of others erase the progress in selfishness and hatred. I've often seen the question posed: Will man's future be that of the world depicted in the Terminator films? Or can we find a way to stop the squabbling and create a world more like the one you see in Star Trek. I genuinely hope for the Star Trek outcome and will happily advocate for it. Reality points toward the terminator in my opinion however. There are always hyper-aggressive people that push their way into power and create destructive chaos... humans are still animals after all.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

They're going to get what they voted for. It's going to suck.

All I can do is lift weights, clean my guns, and stockpile for starvation events just like the history books tell me every communist nation has to suffer. I might fall back to selling drugs and robbing houses again... expecially single women's houses. Probably get a few women I can live off from if things get real rough.

I'm just joking... we're all just going to go the way S. Africa did. Invest in your security. I'll be there to inspect it.

[molonski2]

That the world is imploding

Socialist left are expanding

Creativity is being removed

People do not understand reality

AI is now completely accepted , and it's going to get far better to the point that we will no longer have the skills to relate or even communicate correctly.

I've never genuinely feared for the next 2 generations, now I do.

That's so negative , but I can't see many positives , we are all going to be mating with AI to the point where we won't even know which humans are real.

The doctor will be a female robot.

[832loverboy73]

With big boobs?

[molonski2]

That's up to you , but they are not real.
But I recommend a prostate inspection. @832loverboy73

[832loverboy73]

Who'd want to look at my #blackboyjoy?

[7Phoenix7]

It feels like we’re becoming more connected through technology but more disconnected from each other as people. There’s so much division….. so little empathy… and everyone seems to be fighting to be heard rather than trying to understand one another

[832loverboy73]

That's called populism,7Phoenix7.

[NathanDavis]

the worry of not being able to reverse it at some point...

or the awful idea of "all" being rewritten or rewired in our beings

maybe... in 100 or 1000 years from now, artificial will be revered and natural might be shunned

[Telekinetic-Potato]

20 percent of the people understand how 80 percent of the people think and 20 percent of those people actually use what they have.

I also see politics more and more like class. It's value is learning about how the world actually works rather than being updated on anything.

[Still-alive]

If we turn things around after this historic blue wave we just had then i see great things on our future but if democrats don’t capitalize on this mandate they were just given and rein in the billionaires and tear down everything maga built then its hard for me to see things going well.

so we are at a fork in the road right now.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

You enjoyed the COVID lockdowns I guess.

[Still-alive]

@Dr_Dixon_Cider lol you. Ill be so happy losers like you are going to be seething forever over this historic election 😂 😆

[sage2021]

I miss the old days when America 🇺🇸 was a great place to live and all of this constant fighting wasn't going on. We lived in peace, and people were happy, and a heck of a lot nicer and helped each other.

[exitseven]

The only thing that will fix things is a civil war.

[Agape93]

We're going to be extinct in the next few decades. Our legacy will just be metal, concrete and plastic.

That if it continues this way we will destroy ourselves at some point.

[Sexiestjohnson]

A bit of fear of insecurity but a gush of hope that having the true God gives.

[AgentG111]

Way too many humans we need another good plague

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

Fucking A... I fantasize about that. If I die by it... sweet release. If I live... A lot of empty houses to choose from and the prices just dropped dramatically.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Not sure. I don't think about such things.

The world has always been a f up place.

[Paige2006]

That a small group of people are destroying everything

[msc545]

Got a little better recently after Trump got smashed in the midterms.

[jshm2]

The problem is still White people doing stupid shit.

[Anonymous]

The 19th amendment never should have been a reality.

[236color]

I glad I'm 67 and not 17.

[Shiprex]

It's becoming polarized and isolated.

[exitseven]

The world needs an enema;

[Massageman]

socialist muslim commie mess.

[Cidknee]

Just like the Bible said it would.

[loveslongnails]

Humans are stupid.

[Staximus]

People are stupid, and you can’t fix stupid

[832loverboy73]

The stupid are running the world !!!

[Chazmatazz269]

Everyone is stoopid.
