    Read more history, even just the last 1-200 years. Really dig in to the shit they don’t get into in school. What you’ll find is that times have always been “troubling” and if anything I think there’s a selfishness some people have when they always focus on somehow NOW is the worst time ever and NOW is when things are terrible and everything good will somehow end.

    Honestly, whatever you think is “troubling” nowadays probably isn’t even new or the first time. But so many people don’t understand just how fucked up all of history has been and yet people and countries and cultures survived.

    If anything, life today in general for most is far better than in all of human history. Due to advancements in technology and medicine, most people don’t have to worry about basic survival things the same way they might have even just 100 years ago.
