Yes, always reminds me of Louis CK's "Everything's amazing and nobody's happy" clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFB7q89_3U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

  Everything is not amazing. We’re still social creatures and there is arguably a lot of stress and angst in the social world we find ourselves in. If “everything” is so amazing why are people working over 40/50/60+ hours a week to make ends meet? Why are people made destitute over hospital bills in America? This is something the more privileged among us seem to forget over and over again. Humanity has a ways to go yet before everything is amazing. We can’t just look at our incredible advances in science and technology and call that enough. Yes I’m fun at parties.

    It's just the title of a clip of a comedian on a late night show more than a decade ago; not a thesis on current society. And yes, I'm fully aware and very grateful that I live a life better than billions, however it's also indisputable that the world is better today than it's ever been before. > "incredible advances in science and technology" That's what this thread is about. Please note the context.

      My apologies. Obviously I don’t agree with what’s implied by “we have all this cool tech, how could people be unhappy?”, but I admittedly read some context into it and regardless I could have dialed it down a notch.
