@RichBartlett Meanwhile, I'm just always anxious. I have 4 different ways of thinking about it, one Buddhist, One Taoist, or existentialist and one historical. I had to learn these ways of thinking during therapy.
Buddhist: The next 20 years will be controlled by capitalism and authoritarianism of some form. Turning that ship around will take years to decades. Accept that. Accept the lives that will be lost, the long term damage to the planet that it will take decades to centuries to reverse. Accept that and mourn it. But accept it only so that you don’t fear it. The uncertainty is what gives you anxiety. This is all certain, accept it and you can see how the world is 20 years from now then, if you constantly keep working. Stay crippled and the damage will be maximal with no change. /1
