> but we've done poorly when it comes to health, happiness, spirituality, environment etc. Medicine has never been better, small children almost don't die anymore, and epidemics are extremely rare. People are the happiest they have ever been. Spirituality needs to die out with the old philosophies and lay together with all the other mythologies of the centuries. Environment have never been cared more than it is cared about now. There are many species of animals who have been literally saved by the preservation of their natural habitats. Many governments are pushing towards cleaner technologies, less and less electricity proportionally is being produced by burning fossil fuels. > More people are unhappy/depressed, more people are obese These all are first world problems. These problems can be solved by the people themselves. > most of us are addicted to technology/cheap entertainment, most of us consume way more than we produce etc No, MOST of us produce more than consume. But there are small part of world population that consumes large part of world production. Countries like US and few others to be specific. If you are from that country, then congratulations, you got lucky.
