There was a period between 1960 and 1980 that was really insane. Starting with 9-11 to now has been insane like that too

 However, then you have to look at 1930 to 1950 which was at least 100 million people dying in World War II and countless people starving to death during the Great Depression or dying from lack of medical care or jobs.

Then from about 1980 to 2000 things were not that bad except for a few recessions compared to 1960 to 1980.

So, there seem to be these insane periodic segments of about 20 years or more that we cycle through as a country.

However, then there is Global Climate Change and Global Warming which is relentless and never ending which is the real problem long term that the human race is going to have to survive.

Is AI a bigger problem than Global Climate changes?

I think AI might help solve Global Climate Changes eventually if we let it and apply technologies better so we can as a human race survive global Climate changes better.

However, the other side of this is AI might also enslave all of mankind and become their masters too or we will become Cyborgs that are half human and half AI or we might cease to exist as human beings completely through all this too.

So, there are many problems and questions we must be brave enough to ask as a world or people to survive all this in some way.

Pretending all these things aren't serious problems like Trump does just will kill everyone this century.
