If you include all sentient beings in your analysis there's no question that the world has gotten _much_ worse over the past 50+ years. The number of animals living lives of unending torture has gone up and up during that time period. Any gains made by humans are a blip in the statistics.
I'm somewhat hopeful that we are in the middle of the time when that start changing, but until it does, I think it's quite clear that things have gotten worse, not better.
- ChadNYC 9y agoTo add to your point, the affect of the amount of animals bred into existence coupled with how they are treated is devastating the environment.

- bambax 9y agoMy point exactly. We are not alone. We are surviving on top of a holocaust the like of which was never seen and never even imagined. And we're also poisoning the well and destroying the future for everyone, our own species included.
