What crisis is the world in at the moment?

Crisis of uncertainty.

Political uncertainty, economical, technological, spiritual, you name it

> Crisis of uncertainty

This is made up.

Wdym?
There are no such crises in the west as long as we take crisis to mean an acute problem that we haven’t always been in. Never has there been so much wealth, safety and security for anyone who is willing to do some light work for it. Except perhaps migration and demographic crisis, especially in Europe..
Climate emergency?
It is nice that we are getting rid of things like coal and dependency on the Arab states, but it is a stretch to call it an emergency. Especially on a personal level, it is a hypothetical problem that almost does not affect people's lives. Where it does affect people's lives, as in case of increased energy bills, it is at such high levels of wealth compared to even 2000s that calling it a crisis is going way overboard.
