In the 90's I was young and foolish, a kid.... but my outlook on the future of mankind was a lot more positive than it currently is.
I feel like we're not on as "good a path" as we were back then.
It's like the entire world took a few too many wrong turns or something.
Some of it is cultural... like the metoo, feminism gone overboard, dating being basically a thing of the past / hookup culture, women swearing off men (man hate), men replying with "men go their own way", not to mention stuff like gender policies/identity stuff. We had a period of body positivity that was just women promoting being fat (how many of these influencers died in their 30/40s? its not healthy to die at 40, because of lifestyle choices). Europe doesn't look the same. There are so many 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants that don't want to assimilate into society, learn to speak local languages, or attempt to fit in. Look at France, with the mass riots over nothing (schooling spend supposedly), and then their hatred for western society means they think its okay to run around setting stuff on fire, or smashing things, mass destruction just leads more spending on upkeep. The replacement theory has born true... some parts of Europe the immigrant are higher % of the population than the people originally from there. Like Luxembourg, the people (natives) of the country are less than 50% of the population now. All of Europe will soon turn Muslim, and start to look like the middle east / africa.
Then there is global warming (rising sea levels).... and all the wars, and fights for resources to come (water, oil).
in short yes... the world seems fucked.
Western society, does seem on a downward trend.
Who knows what impacts will come from A.I or a SGI being born?

What the ???
This is some next level Islamophobia and women hatred. Europe will soon turn Muslim? 6% of Europe identify as Muslim.
The second biggest demographic in Luxembourg in Portugese

Mass riots over nothing? The student protests in France actually started after teacher's started striking, students backing up the teachers, demanding more funding, demanding France prioritize education over austerity measures, including recently eliminating 4,000 teaching positions

They're not led by hatred of western society wtf? The violence is a result from the heavy handed security measures by police firing tear gas at kids.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/14/french-students-are-not-just-protesting-for-better-schools-but-for-their-future
The kids are rightly worried about their future and direction of the country (countries, it has spread to Belgium, Albenia, Greece, Italy) but nothing to do with 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants or replacement theory. That's the scapegoat the government uses to deflect.
Yeah Europe is fucked, by the rise of the far right. Not by students demanding education and a future.

"over nothing" yes.
Needing more teachers, teacher's saying they want more money/time for training them, students complaining about "long school hours"....
That happens everywhere, all students think their day in school is too long.
If they had it there way, schooling would be like 3-4 hours and then done.
However the world doesn't function like that, complaining about 8hours or so at school is not reason for setting stuff on fire.
Same with low resources, for more teachers. Having 1 teacher for like 20-25 ppl, is not optimal, but happens again many places in the world.
It is not a reason to go around burning stuff down, and destroy cities.
As the comment about Islamophobia.... (it is not a phobia btw, that is a irrational fear, Muslim majority has actual consequence for countries)
yes, I worry about the changes it has to society.
Most countries (europe) are christian and run on christian ideals.
Society changes when the people making it up does.
There is more violence, rape, more terrorist attacks ect with increased amounts of muslims in these countries.
Sharia law.... is a big one.
its more than that, even small stuff like this:

Islam is not a friend of science (it was long ago, until their teachings of islam changed).
Society and development would crawl to stop, if the entire world was Muslim.
This is Neil Degrasse saying there are over 1.3bn muslims in the world, but they have like 3 nobel prices combined earned.
The Muslim countries contribute nothing to science or research, or betterment of society.
Is it wrong to want to see Europe stay majority christian?
About Luxembourg if you google it, it shows:
1) 1st generation, 49% of of the population or born outsides it.
2) 2nd generation of immigrants are 24%
3) 3rd generation of immigrants are 26%
In total 73,7% of their population is not native, if you look just 2 generations back from the current one.
Like at what point is it okay to point out, that the native born or people from the region are becoming a minority in their own country?
