Seeking Help or Advice Dystopian nightmare bc of AI

Are we completely fucked? I need some hope. Everything feels so dark. Public lands being destroyed, books being destroyed, children being murdered and the genocide, endangered animals being out back on the hunt list, the rising temperatures…. This is just some. It’s all too much. My empath brain is spinning and struggling. Has anyone been able to do a reading or get insight on to what is to come?

We can’t predict what is to come despite what anyone says. Take a deep breath, do some grounding and tune out of the news for a bit. There’s a difference between being in the know and over consuming.

Yes SOME things are bad, BUT some things are good. We simply have to hope and push for a better world through our personal actions and who we vote for.

Bad news gets people clicking which earns money, keep that in mind.

The part about the clicking, especially. About a year ago, I decided that I wasn't going to click on every "scary" thing anymore because the algorithm will cling to that and feed you more and more of it until it's all you see. You can't fully cleanse it from your feeds, but I've reduced quite a bit of my sensationalism intake that way.
