We humans have an odd penchant for catastrophizing our species and our world. While we also like to tell stories about a coming, possible utopia and lots of stories about a coming dystopia, or that we’re already in a dystopia. We aren’t. Of more recent times, there is talk of a techtopia. These topics make for some interesting memes, debates, movies, books and so on. None of them will come to be.
