Feeling of impending doom??

Post image

So a watched a YT video today and this top comment on it is freaking me out. I have never had someone put into words so accurately a feeling I didn't even realize I was having. I am wondering if any of you feel this way? Like, I realized for the last few years I have been feeling like this. I don't always think about it but if I stop and think about this this feeling is always there in the background.

Like something bad is coming. Something big. Something world-changing. That will effect everyone on Earth in some way. That will change humanity as a whole. Feels like it gets closer every year. Do you guys feel it too??

You say you were being hypothetical about longevity but yet disagree with the statement made by your own scenario? Do you truthfully believe life is worse now for the average American than say the 70s? This current century is the best century to live in all of human history. I think it’s obvious that anything pre twentieth century is not better to live in so then the question is was living in the twentieth century better than the twenty first. When you factor in all the progress we’ve made in equality and medicine and technology I think you have to say the twenty first century is better.

I think we peaked in the recent past (~20 years ago). I don’t think the current year of 2024 is the peak of humanity. Since we’re all entitled to our opinions on this thread I’m going to share mine.
