I'm begging everyone to embrace New Sincerity and Solarpunk. Doomerism, snark, and irony is extremely lame, and when corporations do it it's even lamer. Wendys social media is dystopian.

The future is going to be fucking awesome. We're gonna have cute girls on ebikes. We're going to have GMO food that eliminates hunger worldwide, and robots that harvest them and end farm worker exploitation. You're gonna have solar panels on your ADU, they'll power a little light, and you're gonna read a book and listen to the bugs and life will be good.

Thank god - people are making themselves miserable and digging their own graves with cynicism. Cynicism is not synonymous with realism.

Optimism is as much about what you want to happen as what you think will happen.
