The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Oh heck yeah.
Two men in fancy costumes stare at a large greenish humanoid. Nothing is the right color, the surroundings appear cut out of construction paper. Maybe the green humanoid is holding a giant brass whistle? Everyone involved has certainly just said something offensive. If their faces weren’t so blurry you could tell if they were laughing about it.

> I don’t understand how folks …

I think you have identified a plausible explanation in the first paragraph of the piece.
A snippet of text from the QTed article reading: “South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world. Its population is (optimistically) projected to shrink by over two thirds over the next 100 years. If current fertility rates persist, every hundred South Koreans today will have only six great-grandchildren between them.” Highlighted is “If current fertility rates persist”

If a politician ran whose entire platform was “If someone publicly confesses to a crime, I will investigate and prosecute them for that crime.” I would vote for them in a heartbeat.
An excerpt from an article about Peter Thiel: He believes the Armageddon will be ushered in by an antichrist-type figure who cultivates a fear of existential threats such as climate change, Al and nuclear war to amass inordinate power. The idea is this figure will convince people to do everything they can to avoid something like a third world war, including accepting a one-world order charged with protecting everyone from the apocalypse that implements a complete restriction of technological prog ss. In his mind, this is already happening. Thiel said that international financial bodies, which make it more difficult for people to shelter their wealth in tax havens, are one sign the antichrist may be amassing power and hastening Armageddon, saying: "It's become quite difficult to hide one's money."

I would just like to agree with the implication in your bio here, that your sanity is a thing worth saving.
A highlight from the users BlueSky bio saying “Twitter saved my sanity during lockdown.”
