I'm referring to the general sense of leaving a legacy to next generation(s), which may include improvement of the world we're commonly living in, however one may imagine such improvement. (I'm not getting more specific than that, as that is the origin of all politics.) Personally I don't reckon the lack of desire for something better in the world to be necessarily nihilistic (that's more like "the end of times" option, in the "all improvement has already been achieved" sense), but I must say, it's a bit funny that you see the world "good enough", considering the current pandemic if nothing else.

> it's a bit funny that you see the world "good enough", considering the current pandemic if nothing else. Pandemics will inevitably occur, however rarely, as long as humans exist. Similarly computers will be exploited, no matter how secure they are. That’s just the reality of complex systems. Natural market forces have already deployed people toward decreasing the probability of future pandemics, which were already rare. Seems good enough to me, if not ideal. What else can be done?
