      The Netflix show Travelers resonated a lot with me in its bleakness and the main thing I'm thinking about is the big quasi-spoiler, the reveal of what the cause was of the apocalypse the future time travelers fled from: There wasn't one As in there wasn't ONE

      That's why the Travelers never succeed They keep removing the *triggers* of the apocalypse - an asteroid strike, a nuclear war, a plague - but the future refuses to change There's just too many ways for us to fail Human society is like a giant Jenga tower

      It's never one dramatic thing that instantly kills off humanity It's just a series of tests we fail one after another, with each one making the consequences of the last worse Every failed system exposes the flaws and weaknesses of all the others

      You'd think this one Horseman of the Apocalypse, Pestilence, would be enough of a common enemy for his brothers to recede in importance But no, Famine follows close behind, as people hoard and profiteer And our President keeps flirting with War to justify his own inadequacy

      When this country elected Trump in the first place it was a spiteful vote for suicide, whether they know it or admit it or not It was a drunk guy getting behind the wheel and gunning the engine to 100 just because he could

      I dunno One of the bleakest lines on the show was the Travelers musing "They're fighting us so hard it's like they don't want to survive" Maybe it's just not meant to be, maybe the hardware in our brains just can't handle organizing systems at this scale

      Like how if you get really upset you can go out for a run and sprinting as fast as you can you'll get those feelings out and wear yourself out and probably not hurt yourself But not if you get in a car and go as fast as you can Or a plane

      We set up a system where a million people could die because of a fit of pique Because the person we put in charge, the single point of failure in the system, just thought about how the metrics would make him look bad in the short term and had no sense of consequences at all

      Because this insane glitch in the way humans think - "If I pretend it's not happening maybe it'll go away" - goes all the way to the top, because our whole system for making sure people in charge don't think that way, for picking leaders wiser than the rest of us, didn't work

      This isn't even the worst thing it could be The nukes, thank God, have not gone flying the way everyone was darkly joking about But the Trump years aren't over yet

      And it's not like the Trump years will be the last time, like the country that elected him will somehow be miraculously transformed into a different place if he's defeated in November It's not like this country hasn't been a shitshow countless times in the past

          Or like this is the only messed up country in the world and that if America fell the new rulers of the human race will be enlightened The world we now live in is more filled with impossible problems and unavoidable dangers than ever and we're still the same stupid monkeys

          How many more times are we going to live through some random asshole having to make a decision that countless lives depend on and just fucking it up because he just sucks The opportunities for it to happen are endless How many more can we survive

          Nor is it unique to America. Every "populist" fails every test of actual seriousness that comes their way, and every one comes from a place where they promise they can return to a grand past where everything was good (for deserving people)
