A true big picture understanding of the world today?

[Lyubov]

Can you all share your big picture understanding of what is occurring today and why it seems 

- a new world order of alliances is forming 

- why conflict is on the rise and potential hot conflicts between powers look more likely than recently 

- why democracy is declining and denial of truth is rampant  

- why populism authoritarian and oligarchy is rising 

- why things seem more separated than in recent decades 

- the future of economies, money and work with recent technological gains and ai automation 

- why the world seems unstable more than recently

It's fucked

Social media allows everyone to see more of just how fucked it is

A lot of it because countries like and especially China are getting stronger and want a bigger piece of the pie. So mostly power struggles.

Then social media seems to be unhealthy cause bubbles and so on.

And then issues like a lot of immigration from certain parts of the world to the West and Europe. Which causes voters to lean towards more right wing populism.

It was created that way, so you have to "suffer the consequences" now to some extent. But your mind can stop giving it power over you, your mind can have power over it. This doesn't mean not to care about it. It means to recognize that it is made up and fictitious so as to go about your life in a way that you actually have more power (in the mind) than what goes on here.
