Pessimistic.

The more times I see people not fighting for the rights and benefits that they deserve, the more I am shying away in disappointment. We continually allow defeatism to cloud us to where it’s no wonder why governments, corporations and other filth have such a field day with us.

I’m just waiting for something, anything, to put all of us out of our misery.

I assume you mean in the long term, like looking centuries or more out. If the scope is different my answer might be different.

It’s a total unknown to me. The biggest question is where the Enlightenment came from after millennia of producing the same system over and over again, and if it’s here to stay. MAD and GAI are the other two big existential threats. Other problems can all be recovered from in the long arc of history. (Yes, even climate change)
