Right about now, you\u2019re probably feeling overwhelmed. With all the chaos out there. This is the Age of Too Much Chaos. Every day brings a new catastrophe, it seems, and with it, an ever-mounting sense of dread, urgency, anger, and helplessness \u2014 the weird, upsetting feelings of now. End Times Vibes.<\/p>\n

How to make sense of all this? I bet you\u2019re struggling, and that\u2019s OK, because me and a friend are here to help.<\/p>\n

My friend? He just gave the most important speech of the 21st century, containing the most crucial idea of the 21st century \u2014 only nobody was listening.<\/p>\n

I know, I know. You doubt me. Don\u2019t worry, by the end of this, I guarantee \u2014\u00a0you won\u2019t<\/em>. Instead, your mind will be blown.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what he has to say.<\/p>\n

\n

We have a duty to act. And yet we are gridlocked in colossal global dysfunction.<\/p>\n

The international community is not ready or willing to tackle the big dramatic challenges of our age. These crises threaten the very future of humanity and the fate of our planet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Got that? Let\u2019s keep going.<\/p>\n

\n

Let\u2019s have no illusions. We are in rough seas. A winter of global discontent is on the horizon. A cost-of-living crisis is raging. Trust is crumbling. Inequalities are exploding. Our planet is burning. People are hurting \u2014 with the most vulnerable suffering the most.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hey, he sounds like\u00a0a lot like\u2026you,<\/a>\u00a0Umair, I bet you\u2019re thinking. So who is my friend? Well, he\u2019s not really my friend. He\u2019s\u00a0the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres<\/a>. Those are his\u00a0opening remarks<\/em>\u00a0to the General Assembly, this year. Lol, and you think you have bad mornings.<\/p>\n
