In most countries, the best time to be alive was the 60s-90s. Since then the world has been going downhill in everything that matters. Yes, sure, tech has evolved and all. But having the wonderful opportunity to be glued to a screen for half your life doesn’t make it the best time to be alive.
People dont stop having kids because they suddenly hate the concept. It’s in our nature to have kids. We don’t want kids anymore because society has turned so hostile that it completely overruns our instinct to have kids.
The argument could be made that kids conceived right now will be the next richest generation as we have to be rapidly approaching the breaking point with the current second gilded age
I mean choosing to believe things won’t get any better is just pessimistic thinking, plus its counter-productive because if you don’t believe in a better tomorrow how can you make today the first/next step towards a better tomorrow?
The best time to plan a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now. Why not be hopeful about the future and lay the groundwork to make some small improvement to your corner of the earth?
No, it’s not. It’s not a constant progression.

You literally have no way of knowing that though. I hope you’re right, but that’s just wishful thinking.

Bro, deciding to continue living is also wishful thinking tho.
