the new system is not there yet.

I'm glad at least one other person gets it, where we're at and what our actual situation is.

My worry is about how bad things are going to get before the "new system" begins to solidify. We have like, three or four different serious wildcards that are so unpredictable that I can't fathom what the next four decades are going to look like. We're about to see the fastest and most profound changes to society in all recorded history, but we still have brains that were developed in the Ice Age for surviving bears and wolves. We're not the rational, thinking species we think we are and we're about to collectively run headlong into that reality for the first time as a species.
