(3,747 posts)I think I'm going to go with lead in inner city youth as being slightly more depressing than infrastructure degradation, because as terrible as it is, infrastructure failure is at least mostly impersonal and boring (kinda kidding--I'm an engineer at heart ). But climate change tops it all, because what could be more depressing than the literal end of the world?
I think my solution is a good one:
+ + radical politics = a slightly more enjoyable way to contemplate just how screwed we are
Plus, reading while slightly under the influence always helped me concentrate. Too bad I'm in the library right now...
Edit: Ranking things on scales of depressing-ness is a good way to keep things lighthearted for me. Realizing it may not have come across that way...but it was intended to.
