I actually grew up a bit post-cold-war and fairly far-removed from the related angst in Europe of course. From a fairly early age I've been steeped in a lot of environmental/climate disaster-future expectations, so all in all it is playing out how I've long expected... but... yes... it now seems to be much faster.

I expect it is normal for everything to seem faster once you have a few decades under the hood. Suddenly you have a very real personal perspective on what-was-then versus what-is-now.

I want to embrace the nihilism, but I find instead the anxiety is embracing me.
