If anything, looking at 10k years should make you pretty optimistic. The setbacks from the early 2000s have been difficult after the brief end of history period but by almost all measures things are getting better globally. From time to time we get into local minima with a recession or some wars but even those aren't as bad as it used to be.

Climate change is definitely a relatively new problem but we're also in the best position ever to do something about it. Trump and his buddies like Putin, Orban and Duterte are definitely a worrying and something that should be fought but again, it's manageable. Just go look back at the insane poo poo going on in the world in the 60s, 70s or 80s. This is child's play.
