We are living through the end times of the current epoch

Whether this coincides with the end of humanity or merely the end of this era of global civilization as it’s existed since 1492 (globalized civilization) at the earliest, or the early 18th century (being of industrialization), we are nearing the precipice of the end times.

Nuclear weapons pose, by great orders of magnitude, the planet’s greatest threat and it appears the problem only becomes more acute as nations show little interest in achieving durable peace. Indeed, the great powers are locked in the economic phase of a new and warming Cold War. This of course ignores the ample other global issues facing the current iteration of human history and the complete lack of collective will to address any of them.
