Downhill in what sense? Downhill implies there’s some goal or ideal to strive for, but what exactly is that? Do you believe that this downhill is irreversible, or just another bump?
Lots of people take negative views on today, but it’s hard to reason about until you can nail down exactly what “good” is and why.
- garbagetime 5y agoThat question (i.e. exactly what ought we value) isn't difficult to answer. It is impossible to answer. So I don't let it get in my way. I disagree with your second paragraph. Each person has some idea of what he values, and some idea of whether things have improved with respect to those values, a comprehensive survey of people on this matter would be somewhat accurate IMO.
