Another national/global crisis that will require immediate government intervention with the aid of some "great companies." I was born in '87 and have seen this pattern my whole life. Global warming, terrorism, socialism, illegal immigration. Never mind 5g, and anyone who thinks that non-ionizing radiation can have a biological effect doesn't understand the science. Never mind the fact that the scientific community is behaving more and more like the Catholic Church in medieval Europe or the corrupt Jedi Counsel in the last days of the Republic.
We seem headed towards a globally-oriented technocracy where science is the tool of those in power to maintain power and generate even more wealth to the detriment of all life on this planet. The national governments, multi-national corporations, and the scientific community are converging to maintain their own version of consensus reality.
This really bursts my bubble. I always tried to hold out hope for a Star Trek version of the future where we solve the bigger problems here on Earth, so that we can spend time exploring other worlds and pursuing pure science. So much for that. It is looking more like some hideous chimera of Brave New World, 1984, Silent Spring, and The Matrix.
I can't even decide whether to clean the evaporative coil of my air handler for fear that the cleaning solution will be harmful to my pet parrot's respiratory system. Really, I've tried to maintain optimism, but now I just don't know.
