I’m glad to see one commenter has already mentioned George Friedman – I got a lot of reassurance from this podcast interview in April 2020, and by reading his book “The Storm Before The Calm”.
Just hearing someone articulate a plausible-sounding theory for why the current instability is expected/predictable makes it a lot easier for me to imagine different futures, even if I don’t agree with all of Friedman’s premises.
Bonus points to Friedman for writing his theories down in ~2019, just before the notable instabilities started.
