There are a lot of very difficult problems in the world right now. I think we’re going through perhaps the roughest patch we’ve seen since 1979. It’s hard to keep an upbeat attitude in the face of all this crap. But, for me, the most dispiriting thing is probably just the cynicism and despair I routinely encounter in the comments to everything I write and read.
We need to keep our chins up and keep pushing or things are going to take a real turn for the worse.
