The site put his “10 Things Everyone Should Know Going Into The Next Decade” article next for me, and point 3 had a pretty noteworthy bit, being said 1/1/2020:
Go back 10 more years, and things get confusing and darkly hilarious. The big worry in 1999 popular culture was that Clinton-era economic prosperity was robbing white male professionals of their innate need for meaning (Fight Club, American Beauty, The Matrix). “Sure, we all have good jobs, nice homes and plenty of money, but at what cost?

I won’t say WW3 is inevitable, but something big is coming. Russia is draining our resources (including mental focus of agents) in Ukraine, Iran and Saudi Arabia are draining our resources via Gaza and the Red Sea, China is stepping up their cyber attacks and North Korea is readily collaborating with all of them. Meanwhile the flames of propaganda are no longer being fanned on Ukraine, but on Israel, one of our most touchy allies.
