Discussion Are you optimistic about the future of the world?

[boyafraid]

The question is self-explanatory. But I want to ask this because I had a talk with a few friends and one of them mentioned how he does not want to have kids because he believes that the future will be a lot more grim than today. Corruption, immorality, evil, and the hollowing of humanity is rampat when looking at politicians, world leaders, big corporation undermining justice for profit, and how everyone feels squeezed by life with little joy left.

He argued how the world does not show any positive trajectory besides getting worse in the future. And he doesn't want to bring another life form to that shit world.

I can't say I disagree, when I was little I was full of hope, but now I've grown, I see the ugliness in people at all levels. Don't get to the politican this big corp CEO that, a lot of ordinary people are willing to do bad if they have the chance to or if they feel like they can get away with it. And given technology, a world of absolute authoritarian dystopia may be possible sooner than later.

Do you hold this view?

Definetely not ):
