So, Afghanistan is still going. Iran is still around. North Korea is… quiet? Poverty is still rampant in the world. Disease is still a problem. Humans still age. Clean water is probably not available to all humans, yet. The economy is recovering, it seems. Things may still be a bit tenuous. We are probably slowly weening ourselves of imported energy from not-so-friendly nations. We are still making new scientific discoveries. They are probably finding new exoplanets, fairly regularly. Oh well. Time will go on, it seems.
