I think this still happens. People have no concept of time when we look 10+ years out. 10 years isn’t really that long. I think life is going to look very much the same in the next 40 years with the biggest change being AI tools if they can get past the “idiotification” of LLMs and the like as they are subject to human interaction.
I think you’re absolutely right. It’s funny watching old shows/interviews where people seem very similar to modern day “doomers”. They always had legitimate reasons to be worried (like we do), but similarly, they struggle to conceptualize life going on like normal a few decades into the future.
