    Everybody here things it so funny to talk about how we’ll all die ans it’s all horrible but really?

    Lifw is pretty good. Yeah, we’re off worse off today than, say, 30 years ago, but compared to the 4 billion or so years before that? We’re doing awesome.

    We have direct communicationto anyone in the world in the palm of our hands. Even the poor got better and nicer food today than kings had 300 years ago. Life expectancy even over the past 100 years has gone up dramatically…

    This “we’re living in the worst times ever!” Is kind of like climate change deniers cherry picking a tiny sliver of a huge graph and say “see? Temperatures.are going down!” It’s nonsense. Yeah, things got a bit worse.over the past decade, they’ll get better again soon and we’re still way better off than, say, 1980
