On a geological timescale, yes

The dialectic will continue as it always has. People will be born, experience joy and suffering, and then they will die. Forces of liberation will come into violent conflict with the forces of privilege. You will participate in a brief moment in history, and then that moment will pass. Things will get better and worse simultaneously, while the dialectic churns and transforms the world. Monsters will rise to power, and then they will fall. Everything that appears solid will melt into the air, and new forms of being will appear, rife with their own contradictions. We will all do our small part to change things for the better, elevating the collective human consciousness and combating the injustices of our time. We will all be tempted to indulge and preserve our limited privileges, clinging to the familiar and comfortable. Even within us, the dialectic churns. We will make our choices and live with the consequences. And then we will die.

And everything will be okay

Eventually, I believe.

It's up to us to survive and get there.

I can't say that it will definitely be okay, but what I can say is amongst all the chaos there will be little moments where things are okay. Hold onto those and try to make as many of those as you can for yourself and for your community and that's really the best you can do, I think.

It will be ok for some. It will be not ok for others. On *average *it will be less ok then it was yesterday by a tiny incremental bit...going forward...conceivably forever.

I don't think so tbh

I just found out that it's China's National Day. So yes.

Well for those of us trapped in the US....

Define "okay"

I don't know, but I'm goshdarn trying to help make it so.

Things will be very not okay in most places real soon, sorry to disappoint you buddy.

It might be rough but we'll get through it comrade

i mean its about as okay as it ever is, as a being that is fated to inevitably die regardless. even if the USSR never fell and stalin never stopped at berlin and we had achieved fully automated luxury gay space communism in the 1970's, it would all likely get destroyed eventually by the heat death of the universe if not something weirder. maybe there is some other sense in which things can exist, some other aspect of existence that will survive heat death, another universe or 'dimension' or undiscovered physics, but who knows. the mystery is half the fun. but probably not. idk. the uncertainty is the point.

For humanity as a whole eventually yes. I truly believe that we will make it out of this era. A better world is possible
