As I have often said here; among those who kept their sanity through the events of the Birdemic and Peck, almost all seem to have succumbed to one or another of the species of AI-dolatry.
While plenty of others (who pride themselves on their critical acumen) are on-board with one or more of the several warmanias that - apparently without concern or comment - fill the mainstream- (and alternative-) media, and are the subject of major corporate and financial leader's statements - as well as being prominent among the pronouncements of the governmental and supra-governmental leadership class.
Then there are spite-filled Schadenfreude-addicts; who genuinely regard negatively-motivated destruction of people and organizations they personally hate or resent, as evidence of civilizational progress!
Such matters cannot be argued, and I have no intention of arguing them further here!
But, given the pervasiveness of self-celebrating evil and lunacy; the question arises as to why things are not a great deal worse than they already-are.
Of course; sooner or later, "things" will be, because they must be, qualitatively and undeniably worse, with a general collapse into chaos - yet this has been deferred for much longer than I would have thought possible.
I am sure that overall-human-goodness cannot happen except from good persons with good motivations - yet where are these people?
I can't see them, at least not among the living; therefore my best guess is that the well-motivated good persons must be among the dead (specifically the resurrected dead in Heaven) - and perhaps too among the non-human denizens of this earthly reality.
I think we owe these "invisible" entities heartfelt gratitude for "things" being as good as they are, instead of a lot worse.
And maybe such gratitude could be the basis of our-selves repenting, and allying-with these positive influences among these deceased persons and not-people. That way (and Not by the usual political strategy of making forming alliances with slightly-less-than-average evil entities); we might genuinely help the world to become a better-place than otherwise.

I agree with you that if it weren't for the love and blessings poured forth from the non-physical/higher worlds then we would be in a much worse state than we are. Probably collapse would have arrived. Perhaps this way more of us are given the chance to wake up and turn our minds round so that they face the right direction which is up to God.
@William - I think I first started to think this way about a decade ago (actually when walking in the Yorkshire Dales, for the first time!), and I have become ever more sure of it since.
I can quite often sense a definite presence of goodness (motivation in harmony with divine creation) - but this is seldom associated with human beings.
In the end (maybe tomorrow, maybe in some years time), human beings will get what they "want" (and presumably will hate it when they get it); but meanwhile these other beings are giving us more time to wake up, make a choice, and potentially change our allegiance.
i think it's possible that certain parts in us humans, perhaps hidden in deep recesses but still active, are also thus oriented and as it were fighting the other, self damning parts and their commitment to evil goals. and since it's a question of quality rather than quantity, the effect is assymetrical. buried underneath so much nihilism, there is perhaps still a conscience in most people, and it has weight, though invisible.
@Laeth - That sounds plausible.
It fits with a generalization that I think is true; which is that nearly all our formal explicit interactions are insane and evil; and that the common sense goodness is nearly all unconscious and implicit, and indeed often denied.
The trajectory of consciousness and society is, however, towards the conscious and explicit.
This is (broadly speaking) why things get worse with time - the evil conscious pushes out the good unconsicous.
Also this is why it is necessary that people become explicitly aware, understand, and make choices for which they take personal responsibility. It used to be enough to be "naturally good" - but as people keep on choosing to affiliate with evil, this natural goodness gets weakened and diminished.
Perhaps it is simply that God has mercy. Perhaps God has more faith in us than we have in Him?
@Epi - I find that over-explanatory - it can explain anything, therefore explains nothing. If creation was set up that way and with those aims, then it would surely be very different from what it is.
Well, causation does not equal explanation. It is, however, true.
