Feeling too cheerful? Carried away by high spirits? Downright ebullient? I have just the antidote you need, a
listicle (neologism: an article in the form of a list) in
Global Post listing eleven current trends that should bring you down to earth.
Here they are, explained briefly where cryptic:
- Economic inequality
- Gray is the new black - an aging society
- A million little pieces - separatist movements
- The privatization of space
- Horrific weapons under development
- The rise of the robots
- The end of the BRICS
- The god of violent things - religious violence
- Our broken politics
- Competition for scarce resources
- Climate change
Sheldon Harnick wrote lyrics observing "the whole world is festering with unhappy souls" and now you're one of them, no longer irrationally happy.
