I'm not saying everything is lovely and we are at the peak of civilization. I'm saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of "Next generation will be fucked" is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.
They also have positive sides.
I don't know if I expressed myself that poorly (I was pretty tired after all), but I did not mean at all that there are no downsides to any of these. I meant that despite these sayings, every generation so far has ended up as fine as the previous ones.
Change is not necessarily progress.
I'm not talking about change, I'm talking about progress. Progress is not necessarily positive.
