Neil, both the "Terminator future" and the "glorious transition/change" are fantasies and not real. You are afraid of something and disappointed about something that is just in your imagination.
Why not focus on the real, and what's here and now? The good and the bad? Personally, I experience a soul-deep agony when people are normalizing "gendered language" and pedophilia, not to mention the eradication of beauty, nihilism, believing obvious lies, taking even mundane cool things from us etc. No need for science-fiction. But I also see so much goodness, love, intelligence, and guidance, not least in this very group. Take heart!
