At the risk of a little pessimism, I wanted to get people's thoughts on the state of the world and where people see the world going in the next few years. It is a very broad subject with very little structure or definition, but that is the intent in a way. What sorts of things do you all notice about the world and people around you, and how might we begin to improve these things? Any other thoughts or ideas that may foster new ideas or perspective. Keep it clean and respectful of other people's opinions, as always.
