Imperial Olympic grandeur, but as vacant nostalgia. Israeli economy crashing. Trump backed in a corner. Sahel states uniting. Commercial real estate crisis reaching terminus. Ukraine about to cede. Polish EU infighting. Chinese Thorium reactor beginning construction. Record breaking global heat averages. Argentinian economy in free fall. Covid surging. Personal credit debt at record high. General strikes planned in various countries. Idk, a number of things. Just feels like there are a lot of fast moving trains at different angles that are crashing into one another, and those bundles are about to collectively crash into each other. Are we on the station, in the train, or at the cliff?

I don't want to be cynical, but I felt the same thing in 2020, 2016, 2007, 2003, 1999, and a bunch of other random times. There are always a ton of things going on at once and we only truly know where it's going in hindsight. Best to just organize now while believing we'll win someday.

To put a bloomer spin on this, I am more successful talking with regular people when we're near a crisis. It's when things are calm that I'm wall-talk
