Yeah. Next month? Next year? No, those don't exist. Only next week. It also feels like I'm waiting for something. Something big is going to happen and I'm waiting for it. Once it happens everything will get better. I don't know what I'm waiting for though, but my brain says it'll be great.
You're waiting for a very specific event which is like a soft apocalypse obviating all of this bullshit work. A utopian, not dystopian change, brought upon by a rapid shift in technology which solves all of our problems and our society in one fell swoop. No more work, just peace, bliss, and vacations for everyone, like a human uplift. Maybe aliens do it. They just benevolently gift us the tech. It's not impossible, it's on the horizon.
Why?: It's happened before, with the freedom and creation of the Internet, which was a huge upheaval.
We're all technically waiting for this event. Some of us at the levers need to hurry the fuck up.
