I discovered Isaac Arthur's Youtube channel in another comment thread, and I've been watching his videos for several weeks now. They've almost entirely replaced news about the war in Ukraine and economic doomsdaying, and I've noticed my own mental health and future outlook improving immensely in that time.

I'd highly recommend this playlist about near-future technologies that could revolutionize life as we know it, without being too high sci-fi about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChTJHEdf6yM&list=PLIIOUpOge0...

Something about his approach really resonates with me - I think it's because he really believes a lot of the things he is researching are possible in our future - and his optimism is infectious. It really puts things in perspective, at least it did for me.
