Hot take: people spend way too much time talking about issues that don't matter, like LGBTQ and race (note: not to say that LGBTQ and race are unimportant issues. In fact, there needs to be equal rights and treatment in both categories. Just, comparatively, they are not as important), and way too little talking about things that really matter for the survival of humanity, like climate change and space travel.
I do think there’s talk about climate change / space travel, just not colloquially. But I’m sure scientists have been scrutinizing it for a while now, it’s just much more complicated (as it’s not simply a social problem), so it has fewer appearances in casual chats.
