If 2023 ends up giving us AGI, room-temperature superconductors, Starships and a cure for cancer, I think we will able to call it a good year...

It's not particularly high when there is an active war between Russia and an almost-NATO country, supported by NATO, with fighting happening right at NATO borders?

I would say it's perhaps never been higher since the Cuban missile crisis.

Based only on what you and I can know about the current situation, I'd say the Cuban missile crisis was approximately 900 million billion times worse.
