Oh totally. The cracks were there (name an optimistic sci-fi movie after 1980), but the main narrative was “it just seems to work out.” Welcome to the weirding, right

Growing up in the 80s was kinda like 10s right now, but this is significantly worse. That felt like the last decade of a big 50-year conflict (Cold War). This feels like the beginning of a new 50-year conflict. You guys were programmed for a longer period of peace than you got.
