Is the world is in a pickle?

Would I be making an outrageous statement if I said the world has got into a pickle?...
I clearly remember this song from the 1990s and realize this singer Jay Kay, from the band Jamiroquai was not far off...
Jamiroquai- Virtual Insanity Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya), It's a wonder man can eat at all, When things are big that should be small, Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us And I'm giving all my love to this world Only to be told, I can't see, I can't breathe, No more will we be,And nothing's going to change the way we live Cos' we can always take but never give, And now that things are changing for the worse See, it's a crazy world we're living in, And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin Is all we have to give these - [Chorus] Futures made of virtual insanity, now Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have, For useless, twisting, our new,technology Oh, now there is no, sound - for we all live underground, And I'm thinking what a mess we're in, Hard to know where to begin If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made,And now every mother, can choose the colour Of her child That's not natures way, Well that's what they said yesterday There's nothing left to do but pray, I think it's time I found a new religion,Waoh - it's so insane, To synthesize another strain, There's something in these, Future's that we have to be told [Chorus] Now there is no sound, If we all live underground, And now it's virtual insanity, Forget your virtual reality Oh, there's nothing so bad,, I know yeah [Instrumental break] Of this virtual insanity, we're livin' in,,Has got to change, yeah, Things, will never be the same, And I can't go on, While we're livin' in oh,, oh virtual insanity, Oh, this world, has got to change Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual,, Virtual insanity that we're livin' in, that we're livin' in That virtual insanity is what it is [Chorus] Living - Virtual Insanity, Living - Virtual Insanity,Living - Virtual Insanity, Living - Virtual Insanity Virtual insanity is what we're living in

Just look where we are, especially this weekend...
