Cheerful concurrence. It is worth remembering that most of history and indeed the present can be described in very bleak terms given a little bit of effort.

Humans have good reason to fear the future. The future is very scary. However, the future has always been very scary, and it isn't any scarier now than it has been since the invention of record keeping, where basically the same threats were present. The past is also very scary to anyone who sits down and realises that the people in the past are basically the same as the people in the present.

The future isn't going to be any bleaker than the past, it will be just as full of hope, success and vibrancy.

Well, any dystopia you can conceive is probably going to be utopia to someone.
