A Bit Depressed by the World

So today, to sum it up:

  • The flotilla bringing food and water to those starving in Gaza has been stopped.
  • Trump warns his military generals that they'll now need to treat the internal enemy (Democrats, basically) like an external enemy.
  • Jancovici explains that climate regulation mechanisms are reaching tipping points faster than expected.

What makes me sad?

I think it's time to abandon the illusion that we lived in a society of progress where well-intentioned people worked for the common good.

The ending energy abundance made us addicted to a comfort we can no longer do without. Now that the ground is shaking beneath our feet, we turn our anxious gaze toward the most unhinged among us to save us.

The time of peace is over.
