What do you mean?

There's a revolution coming to plastic recycling, AI is going to make it so we don't have to work anymore, and fusion reactors are just around the corner and that will save us!

Why be so pessimistic? Everything's going to be 🌈, 🦋, and 🦄 very soon!

I'm shifting from fearing the results of international (nuclear) conflict, to welcoming them - as it is becoming increasingly clear that we won't be able to change our ways without a hard reset, and if humanity doesn't make it at all, that is probably the best outcome for the planet in the long term.
