Jul 2025

I'm old and can see the natural limit to my years. But I fear for the young people who will die early deaths of despair due to their perceived lack of any bright future. They are confronted by autocracy, an environmental catastrophe and The Bomb. So they can see no solutions to the omnicide ahead and it's depressing. Things are going to get a lot weirder at this tipping point for the planet. The choice is utopia or oblivion.
