    Probably. But I have a hard time believing that you can be smart without being depressed in this day and age.

    Edit: I mean there are moments. It’s not all doom and gloom all the time. But overall? I have a kid. What chances does he have? Should he want a family, what are the odds he doesn’t figure it out and feel just as bad as I do? It’s going to get worse and worse, and we know this. Every generation will have it worse. I don’t want that for him. And I don’t want his generational guilt that I have for him.

      So it is time for our generation to revert the course. I am not saying you should go and do this or that, just that at the moment I feel that for things to become better we need whole generations of better people

      I’m worried for the world and the climate and at the same time I do enjoy a lot of little things. Maybe I am dumb though.
