From Penelope's tweets this week:


--- Quote from: Penelope Gaines ---Also what is the deal with aging authors dedicating their grim-apocalyptic-vision-of-the-future books to their children?
--- End quote ---

--- Quote from: Penelope Gaines ---Protip: the world isn't slouching into a hopeless dystopia just because you're getting older.
--- End quote ---

Actually, some of us think it really is headed that way...


--- Quote from: Penelope Gaines ---Can I just say how much I'm looking forward to the baby boomer generation finally dying off?
--- End quote ---

Don't worry - we're on our way... soonish (but not quite yet).

pwhodges:
<shrug>  This is not a "things are all worse than when I was young" thing, because, for sure, they aren't.  But, as a reasonably well-informed scientist, I can't see a way out of the physical problems that the world is now committed to enduring; and as an amateur observer of human nature, I can't see society handling the longer-term effects gracefully.

Feel free to prove me wrong...

techkid:
It sure is taking the "pessimist" approach, but observation does seem to indicate that "things are going pretty bad, and most people's attitudes ain't helping."

Human nature won't change unless we are somehow able to sway humanity as a whole into a change. But in order to achieve that lofty goal, we must first change human nature.

At least, that's my view.

I just thought that Penn-Penn was having a bad day when little miss special order showed up to give it that extra-special shove.

It's either that or he mother's maiden name is  Murphy.

It's like an insider joke inside a comic strip.
