[a sad character is slouched on a couch, looking at their laptop, looking depressed, while their coffee mug leaks on their carpet] I’m tired of living in the “Decline and Fall” section of the future Wikipedia article
The rest of the world is happy it’s no longer a “Causes of WW3” article.
please don’t jinx it
Until Trump invades Canada, Greenland, or Mexico.
All the more reason to live IMO. After the decline of the existing system is the potential for something better to replace it but only if we have people willing to do it.
I appreciate the optimism. Because I’m feeling really sad about the future.
Yeah I think the Romans around 400 AD felt very much the same.
is there any evidence that they were already aware besides their barbians-at-the-gate diatribes?
The common people? Hardly. To them it really didn’t matter all that much as long as they were protected from war and famine.
But eventually that happened and they couldn’t ignore it anymore.
The elites of society will have been much more aware of the situation (and acted accordingly).
As always…
As if the rest of the world will outlast America by much. The whole world is going down with the climate. America is just trying to go down first, and hardest. We always gotta be #1 at something!

Agreed, but we’re not the only ones that will fall with it.
