People have been ignoring this obvious answer because it makes them deeply uncomfortable.
These days, the more an answer makes me uncomfortable, the more I believe it's probably true.
It's not even a secret, it's not even hard to find rich people saying just that.
It's simply the only thing that is going on.
We are stuck with people who think life on earth is just a way to get to heaven where everything is perfect, so they don't care what happen here.
These people are taking a lot of long term decisions in the industrialized world.
We are also stuck with people who exploit their way to power, and frankly don't care what happen in the future.
These people are also taking a lot of long term decisions in the industrialized world.
We are also stuck with the naive people who think everything is alright, because they wish it so
These people could be the balance of power but they instead choose to do nothing and sit on their hands because they think that in the end, everything will be alright.
I'm kinda depressed suddenly....
Do whatever you can to take care of your mental health. That said, if you're not depressed, you haven't been paying attention.
I like to think the only way tos tay sane is taking some kind of action either to better yourself or your community. Hopefully if enough people do this unselfishly, the good actions of enough people change the world for the better. And even if it doesn't, you can at least say you lived according to your own values.
But yeah, depression is kind of a given these days. Be as well as you can.
