The tempo of new crises is becoming dizzying. I quit watching the news and commenting online for the last few weeks because of some tough classes I'm in, and I feel like about 5 years worth of news has transpired in that time. How the hell do you even keep up with it all?

For longest time I assumed this was largely an illusion created by the amplifying effect of the 24-hour cable news cycle and social media on the volume and intensity of information. But I think it's becoming impossible to deny that the world is becoming very unstable and unpredictable compared to just 20 years ago. It's starting to feel like you're on a speeding train with no brakes that might just jump the tracks coming around the next bend.

If you're asking me, then one thing that helps is that I'm unemployed
and there's massive age discrimination in the computer industry, so I
have plenty of free time to keep up.

... or off the edge of a cliff.

That's what a generational Crisis era is like. As the WW II survivors
die off, and younger generations replace them, bitter factional
conflicts grow, and eventually lead to total war. It was the same in
the late 1930s.

Something to look forward to: If you survive the war, then you can
look forward to a little peace and quiet about ten years from now.

"Peace is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands
around reloading."
