No matter how fucked everything is in the world right now, we are, on average, still significantly better off than almost every other human in all of existence.
But the trend line is definitely going in the wrong direction. We are past our peak.
What are your thoughts on climate change and increase in environmental toxins (e.g. PFAS and microplastics)? I don’t see a positive light at the end of the tunnel on this.

For our lifetime maybe, but on a larger scale that is relevant to humanity as a species the trend down isn’t even visible.
Again not trying to mitigate human suffering today, but I do really take issue with people dooming all the time.

Why? Most of the world living better than 20 years ago and way better than 50 years ago, so the trend looks positive.
I’d take 2005 over now
