Yeah; /this/ is the worst time to be a human. Right.
We have the ability not to die of previously common disease.
We are the most educated and wealthy population ever.
We have arguably one of the longest collective lifespans.
We don’t necessarily have to commit labor for the wealthy without any pay at all.
But we have the threat of climate change; something no generation before 100y ago considered at all.
We have the supposed, but possible, threat of AI changing things for us, something no one could have possibly concerned themselves with previously.
We have instant access to all of the worlds knowledge in the palms of our hands and we can travel to any point on Earth within 24h or less for relatively little money.
Most of us have access to shelter, power, food and water.
Yeah; it’s definitely not the worst time to be alive. But we have to worry about things that might not come to pass instead of worrying about what definitely will come to be like prior generations.
Absurd.
