< Would you rub the crystal ball?
True ignorance is bliss. Uncertainty is stressful. I'd rub the crystal.
As for anxiety management (I hope you're doing okay in these pressing times btw), I find it a fun exercise to try to detach from myself and consider myself part of the large amorphous human organism, and look at how it's matured over time:
* Timeline of Human Developments
* Time Timeline of the Far Future
You and I might not be around in X years, but we live on in the patchy memory of others and will be a part of the human organism that stretches out over the planet and reaches for the stars.
Wow, that timeline is amazing!
I've been thinking (or overthinking, IDK) on having a meaningful life, perhaps for 40 years more, and then I read about what has happened in the last 100 years (let's say, 1 generation) , 200 years (2 generations), and that gives you a huge perspective on you being a single person in a whole universe of time and billions of human beings.
Aaaaand after that inmense universe, we are a whole world for, we say, 50 people in this day.
