    I think this time period in humanity is very special. It really does feel like the make or break of humanity sometimes.

      That’s because you’re alive right now. Obviously the events you experience yourself seem weightier than the events you’ve only read about.

        Not in the same way.

        You could maybe argue atom bombs and cold war was a similar time for such crucial moments in humanity, but now we also got climate change, another rise in fascism, and we got tons of nukes on top. And plenty of other things which I won’t bother to delve into because I should sleep.

      The 2020s were very important (and very rough) in Star Trek lore, too. Slightly different, but the similarities are striking…
