> I believe we are too far gone at this stage

When irrationality and straight-up lying are so entrenched, you wonder what it would take to shake up the system.

The only thing I see is some major catastrophe, like a meteor strike or something on that scale.

I think we are seeing the slow disintegration of the system as we speak with the pandemic. Or rather, we are seeing an acceleration in the slow disintegration that was already happening. The rise of the populist right all over the world is a troubling sign of things to come.

The people are not content. Look at the BLM protests in the US, they were the largest uprising in American history. They were bigger than the MLK riots. Content people do not riot. Needs are not being met, or at least perceived needs are not being met.

The pandemic should've been enough but... meh.
