Is There Any End to The Atlantic’s “End-ism” Fetish?

The Atlantic often portrays a world in decline, which might appeal to its older readership, as indicated by a Pew survey showing its median age is higher than that of other major newspapers. This focus on "end-ism" likely resonates with readers who have a deeper understanding of their own mortality, influencing how they perceive global issues. This trend is noteworthy because it shapes the narrative and perspective of its audience, potentially affecting public discourse and perceptions of societal progress.
