i dunno. i personally feel like it may just be a time of assured change. almost like a natural cycle. i suspect whether it turns out good largely depends on peoples choices.

Yes, it may be. Things do tend to go in cycles. Case in point the whole “forth turning” cycle.
People will have the choice, we always do. I am leaning on the optimistic side.
There is another option that I think about. It is the global consciousness raising. Not in the new age since, but in a since that we as a world are growing up.
Nevertheless, we do live in interesting times!
Cheers!
