[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's nostalgia. In 2050, they'll have a new batch of problems and remember how, because of COVID, they stayed home with family and played board games and watched movies together and isn't it just awful that teens these days never hang out with their parents? Or whatever. The shitty things from the present are always magnified while the terrible things from the past are always minimized.

And, even though each generation laments that kids these days and the world in general are terrible -- not like when they were kids -- the world has generally been getting better decade over decade.

Objectively, the whole world has been getting WORSE every decade for over 100 years now. We are living during an unprecedented, human caused, ecological disaster and mass extinction event.[/quote]

You're insane if you think 1921 was a better time to be alive than today. The crime. The disease. They were still lynching people for Christ's sake. Eugenics was in fashion and being gay was a felony. [/quote]

“For perspective, scientists estimate that in the entire 20th century, at least 543 land vertebrate species went extinct. The researchers estimate that nearly the same number of species are likely to go extinct in the next two decades alone.“

A person born in the 20’s had far more life expectancy and future increased standard of living than any of their predecessors could have ever imagined. Our future will not be that much more improved.[/quote]
