Everything genuinely feels so meaningless when you know the future is basically widespread desperation, poverty, and violence worldwide 😂 Woohoo I learned another worthless skill I ran another pointless mile I read another book I could have just asked an LLM about

I've been there! I ran the dystopian timelines gauntlet; had a breakdown in 2018. Came out the other side of anxiety, paranoia, and deep grief with a kind of freedom. Narratives of despair knocking around the skull are a shitty time. Sorry you're experiencing that. They aren't all that's happening though! You don't *know* how the future will turn out. You don't even *know* what when your next fart will arrive. The truth is, we have no fucking idea how we even got this far, let alone what will happen in the future. There are people doing good things. We have power to effect things too, if we want to. We also have the freedom to do nothing - which is cool. I like doing nothing. I've also found, for me, projecting into the future is only as useful as it provides materials to make empowered choices, here and now. Feel the feelings that are here and now, they may contain wisdom! Mindfulness can be great! Feel free to ignore or just take what is useful. Hope you're being gentle with yourself! Much love.

i too am familiar with the despair cycle. don't forget that people forever have predicted downfall after downfall. many of them were right. but if you look at where we are versus then life has improved dramatically for so many. all we can do is persevere, be kind to one another, and inspire awe and wonder in others.

It's been worse, then it got better, then it got really good, then it got terrible. So it will be again. Or not.

For the third point: I'd contend that there's still value in reading books. There is something to the experience of the riding action and denouement of a story, be it fiction or otherwise, that a summary fails to capture. (that said, I've used the Wikipedia summary on a number of videogames I didn't feel like completing)

majority of the world already lives through poverty and violence. we're just more aware of it now if it's to change, then it'll start from the people who are aware of future possibilities AI can't duplicate all the things that make you an individual

A good future is still possible. Just destroy all the ultra-wealthy enclaves and everything else will follow.
