For those say in their 60s or 70s here. When you were in your 30's or 40's did you have the feeling that the world was a fucked up place? So much has been going on since I entered adulthood in the early 2000s and I feel like it's getting more and more intense. It's never ending.

Is it unique? Or has it always been this way?

ok. So just to be clear we just care about if there are technically more trees like saplings in tree farms than any type of environmental thing yeah?

No? I care about accurate representations of Native American environments. My comment was specifically directed at your comment, not the entire thread.

I honestly think there’s no way to know if there’s really more trees now than there was. But I kind of doubt it, unless like you said, we’re specifically counting saplings on farms versus old growth forests.

Sorry I thought you were followup by the initial starter of the comment chain.
