It's difficult to defeat the overwhelming feeling of "There is no future (Or at least not a good one), so what's the point?". I feel like even if I live to 100 we're not going to be anywhere close to a Star Trek utopia, but more smack dab in the middle of a Dark Age.
i have some global hope with the impending collapse of american hegemony, but that's coming from BRICS, not anything do with me and nothing that will uplift me from my misery.
