I see metacrisis as accurately describing the state of the current affairs.
There are so many recent events that gave me hope:
Extinction Rebellion, global decentralized movement
COVID, radical change is possible
Elon Musk buying Twitter, freedom of speech, global town hall
Perennial rice
Nuclear fusion
Patent US4394230A for splitting water molecules into hydrogen (it’s about changing the structure of water, 1 unit of energy in, more than 1 units of energy out)
LK99 superconductor (debunked but surely it will inspire next wave of research)
The worse it gets, the more willing to change. So I have always hope by default.
I do not see metacrisis as pessimistic.
