pessimism, cynicism
The events of 2020 and 2021 broke my spirit, and I may never recover. I don't know how someone can live through all of that and still believe that our society can accomplish anything of value in the long-term. It's hard to believe humanity will do anything other than stumble forward into its own self-made annihilation.
The problem is that this is an emotional take based on experience. No amount of logical arguments will convince me otherwise. My soul is scarred.
