A more balanced perspective—one that also acknowledges progress, resilience, and potential pathways forward—would offer readers a measure of hope and inspiration that is sorely needed in today's climate. Criticism is important—but relentless negativity undermines perspective.

I have hope that our species may find its way to an equitable system in the future, but right now we're inside the crisis, and everybody who isn't in favor of the whole dark enlightenment plan has their amygdalas firing overtime. Hope is a fragile bird and can seem like a distraction.

I think that’s exactly when hope matters most. It may feel fragile, even misplaced, but it’s also a powerful catalyst. If our amygdalas are in overdrive, maybe that’s because part of us still believes things could be different.

Hope isn't a distraction—it’s a signal that we haven't given up. And that’s something we can build on. But when our media intentionally frame it differently for their own engagement, clicks and other selfish reasons -- it becomes completely disingenuous His picture above is a perfect example
