I'm very happy to have heard some counter-arguments phrased so succintly. Thank you, I think I'll sleep better having read this. Have a wonderful evening.

I guess I should have expected this thread to just depress me further. It's gonna suck real bad to see it all slowly end. It's hard sometimes to think about my own happiness: Good food, time with friends, fulfilling relationships when I'm essentially living on a ticking time bomb. I've been getting super down about it this last while.

I fear you might be right there. Being a part of humanity, I can't really get rid of my desire for us to do well (Up until just a few years ago I was huge on space and automation), but it feels like that may be a pipe dream at this point. I do still hope though, as futile as it might look right now.

Man this list is really making me want to create leftist content myself. It does feel a bit like there's nothing new to say, though that can be said for almost everything. And I do have a blue yeti lying around somewhere...
