to just feel utter despair sometimes about the state of things for our kids?

[toolioo]

Incoming rant but I am feeling fed up that we are constantly inundated with media debates about social media, Roblox, harmful content, the manosphere, vaping, gaming addiction,, record levelsof obesity etc, and if you really dig into it, the list is so overwhelmingly long. While it's absolutely right that we engage with these issues, does anyone else just sit back and think how the fuck did we get here? We had the ultimate opportunity to harness our own creations and elevate humanity, but we've compromised it so bloody badly that it feels like a point of no return. How bleak is the future looking? I feel like we are being laughed at by the people in power (and I'm referring to the people profiting off of our experimentation, not our absolutely useless govt). It genuinely makes me question the ethics of bringing another child into this world right now. How on earth did we get here

I'm far more concerned about the future for people with neurodiversity.

Literally, generations of people from Ethiopia, Somalia and Sudan have already endured these, and still are in varying degrees hence the conflicts and subsequent migration.

Some have lived in refugee camps on Kenya for over 20 years. Some have never known their lands of origin.

It is tragic and depressing, that man/womankind still find it hard to pull together at times like this. But, leaders choosr to buy more weapons instead.

Ah well.
