Everything just seems so out of control. The US seems to be tearing itself apart. The world is on fire. We seem to be going backwards when it comes to freedom and human rights. We've turned our backs on each other. How do you cope with all this without just giving up?

Sorry I am trying to make a point. I think it would be better probably. Except for all the misery. The good parts would be super good. The non-awful parts would be super good.

Sounds like it would be cool for some kind of quantum-leap holiday, but I think in general I'd rather have the relative comfort and lack of preventable pain that modern technology provides!
