Agreed it’s a big problem but there are a lot of people and countries actively trying to fix things. I definitely feel like we are living in the Twilight Zone in more recent years but still overall the average person is living a better life now than any other time in human history.
Every generation says the world is going to shit. Sure aspects suck but generally we live in the best times humanity has ever seen.
Cradle by Will Wight. It’s a 12 book series but honestly is one of the easiest I have read. It reads like watching an anime on fast forward.
They are doing a Kickstarter to turn it into an animated series right now. The first book starts a little slow but is still super quick compared to other books and then it just ramps from there. Starts out kind of like a kung fu movie then goes sci fi/fantasy mix.
I second this. It also has a dark mode setting with white text and black background. One of the best purchases I’ve made. I use it every night and the charge lasts weeks.
The only difference is social media let’s us see the anxiety. I’m sure during the bubonic plague, the stock market crash, and the world wars plenty of people had high anxiety.
Globally, crime is at all time lows, extreme poverty is at all time lows, in most countries people can say they are gay without being killed.
Yes we have major problems but I stand by my statement that the average human is better off today than any other time in history.
