Thank you America for growing your population so large. When climate change gets so bad that the dykes pop, we can just grab the nearest American to plug the hole and save humanity.
The “end of the world as we know it” happens every day though. Maybe a bit philosophical, but humans are actually very good at handling change. So we will adapt, for better or worse.
I would like to suggest the Wayward Pines trilogy by Blake Crouch. (The books, not the television adaptation). It’s a great scifi read. There he took the same idea of humans evolving beyond being human, but not in a controlled manner like you describe, but naturally and a bit bleaker.
Here’s the blurb for the first book:
The first book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade
One way in. No way out.
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase.
As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation turns up more questions than answers: Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out?
Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact—he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
The nail-bitingly suspenseful opening installment in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster Wayward Pines trilogy, Pines is at once a brilliant mystery tale and the first step into a genre-bending saga of suspense, science fiction, and horror.
Cows are usually very curious and nice. You have to remember that they are wild animals though and unpredictable. They could kill you by sitting on you.
If you act natural, don’t make any sudden movements, than you’re good. Also get out of the way, because they will just run over you. Especially in spring, when they get out of the barn for the first time since fall. They’re blinded by the light and a little spring crazy.
Bulls are a different matter. You they’re less sweet.
Also, mobile idle games like clash of clans or simcity. Maybe some tactics like “I’ll build this now so I can do that tomorrow” but that’s not a puzzle, that is just choices.
That’s why I like long drives alone
Recently had someone interrupt with a present. “Sorry to jnterrupt. Thank you so much for that wonderful talk. Here’s a little something from all of us. We didn’t want it to spoil while you went over time.”
The post is badly phrased
Well yes, but you don’t have to feel shit while doing it, is what I’m trying to say. If you are capable of doing something to change the world, than that fits into the “you” perspective. If you aren’t capable to do anything, it doesn’t fit in the “you” perspective. But if you feel personally involved with the world problems and are not able to influence it. You need to change something so you either get some influence somehow or feel less involved, if not, you’re gonna feel a lot of shittyness for nothing.
And it foesn’t really matter which side you go. Both will have a positive effect on your wellbeing.
This is mostly a you problem though. The world has always been fucked and will always be fucked. That’s life, but not your life. You need to worry more about you, your happiness, your mental well being. You need to let go of the thought that your happiness depends on the world. You could literally be living in a warzone and be happy. People do that. Sure there will be rough days, maybe more than happy days, but people will find happiness no matter what. They find it in themselves or in eachother or in the work they do. You need to find the things that matter to you.

Like the right to end your life when you feel like it’s full, complete and there’s literalky nothing left to be done for you. To end it when it’s a good time to go, in the presence of your loved ones and while you still have your mind in good health.
It’s the quantity. And also, by the time you’ve filled a cup of spit, it has cooled and dried a bit, maybe even breaking itself down, resulting in an increased viscousity, giving it a very unpleasant mouthfeel.

I think google’s recent AI strokes, like them advising you to jump of a bridge, are a great example of companies panicking to innovate, to not be left behind. In the meantime they forget to check their implementations, their products and their quality. They’ll slowly dwindle, transform inyo something unrecognizable, but all through their downfall, they’ll continue making money for the shareholders.
