Is this satire?

  We’re quickly entering a new era of energy abundance, without needing to constantly dig up, process, and cart around enormous amounts of oil. And solar has recently gotten cheap enough that people in poorer countries around the world are deploying huge amounts of it. That’s pretty amazing!

    What does this have to do with my question?
    • ericd 8mo ago
      You asked if it's satire, I gave you a reason it might not be.

  No not at all. The world is way better off today than at any time in the past. This is objectively true and we can all feel it everyday we don't die of dysentery, sepsis, etc.

    how many dysenteries make a nuclear explosion?
    • fragmede 8mo ago
      Can you put that in terms I can understand? How many measles outbreaks per vaccine refusals is that?
      • direwolf20 8mo ago
        Exactly. How many of one bad thing reduced compensates for a different bad thing increased? They say it's better now because we have fast access to information. But we don't have house stability. How many seconds of latency to information equals owning a home?
