I've had many run-ins with the speed wobbles in my day, my parents even called me speed wobbles instead of my real name for years. I survived though, and I developed in better ways through those moments, the adversity. Got fucked up a few times though, that's for sure.

I couldn't have said your second paragraph above better, you've encapsulated it is so well. I wonder if things will go the other way but I fear not. The world and humans are well off the rails and gleefully accelerate into the abyss. I'll be dead and gone before too long but it's happening already so will gett to see the fall.
