You are clearly out of touch with reality. Even official state statistics in western countries clearly show the downward trend in life quality, you don't even need to use any reasoning, it's just math.
- waihtis 3y agoMaybe your problem is judging the quality of your life by ”state statistics.” My recommendation is picking up a philosophy book or two and looking at things from a new angle.
- gtsop 3y agoThank you for your recommendation, it is a very good one which i have already acted uppon. The philosophical conclusion is that even though, in absolute metrics, the average life is better as centuries go by, in relative metrics it is getting worse and worse. Our knowlegde and technology are being underutilized, thus obstructing access to modern quality of life to the majority of the people on earth who, by the way, do not live in the western countries
- waihtis 3y agoI actually agree with all of your points, although I would say the direction has gone ”wrong” relatively recently and we could reverse it quite easily
