Oh jeez, thinking about the distant future is definitely the biggest downer there currently is.

What kind of calms me down in that regard is... A lot of things can happen in a couple of generations. Some places in the world were under a completely different regime and political system just 35 years ago. And 35 years further the world was completely different.

We think we know where the world is going based on tendencies and it's not looking good, but also in reality we have no idea where it will be in 35 or 70 years. That unknown is horrifying, but also kinda gives me hope? It might be worse, but it MIGHT be better or just completely different from what we imagine... There's some comfort in that for me.
