- colinmhayes 4y agoFirst I'd say that things have consistently been getting better for the last 400 years, and I don't really see that changing in the near future. > why in so many places are we creating such terrible conditions for our future? Because many people have bad discount rates so they sacrifice future welfare for current welfare. Externalities are also extremely difficult to get people to internalize.
