So many things are getting so much better…equality is increasing: ethnic, economic, gender, sexual orientation…there are fewer and less frequent wars….many forms of violence are decreasing per capita….access to information is at an all time high….but anthropomorphic climate change, fanatic theocratic terrorist reactions to social progress; peak oil, gas, fresh water, greed based delusional economics, and runaway misinformation about everything scientific from medicine to energy to climate all have me worried for the future of this planet’s inhabitants.
