Anyone else follow world events closely? It seems like there is more and more disasters, mostly manmade, by the day. Along with the threats of war, plagues, and general environmental decline.
I'm not trying to post one of those 'the sky is falling' threads, but if you look closely there's a lot of negative events coming at us from many different angles.

Things seem to be falling apart, and I think it has been building up to this for quite some time.

Dude, despite the turmoil, life on planet Earth in 2021 for the majority of humanity is light years better than 50 years ago.

For the majority of humanity? Are you sure about this? There were somewhere around 3.7 billion people in the world fifty years ago, now there are close to 7.7 billion, with the largest increase among third world countries. What evidence do you have that a majority of the population lives better than it did fifty years ago?
