we’re living through some kind of major transition — tech accelerating everything, institutions wobbling, fake news spreading faster than real news and trust in legacy systems fading fast. I’m not sure I’d call it a collapse.
History’s full of messy turning points that felt like the end at the time. Maybe this is just our generation’s version. The chaos might be the prelude to something new — hopefully better, more decentralized, and more grounded in real value.
That said, it’s definitely a good time to stay alert and curious. I do recommend everyone to read quality news as first thing in the morning only.
Thanks for your thoughts! I completely agree we're in a major transition. The speed of tech's impact, fading trust in institutions, and the spread of misinformation definitely point to something big happening.
History often feels like it's ending during chaotic periods. Maybe this is our generation's version of that destruction-creation cycle? The idea that this chaos could be a prelude to something new—more decentralized and value-driven—is really hopeful. Good call on staying alert, curious, and seeking quality news.
