It's sad to think that humanity may have peaked already.
The best time to be alive in the west (unless you're a minority, because we HAVE made advances in accepting people for who they are) was probably more than half a century ago.
Sure, technology gives us lots of cool stuff. But it's been discovered that it's more profitable to keep us fat and addicted, and we're perfectly content to let all the profits go to the top 0.1 to 1%.
Humanity is just stuck in a rut until the billionaires are overturned and we can get back on track attempting to improve life again. Those with money are killing us all bit by bit
Enjoy it while you can. It'll be a lot by a lot the moment automation makes us truly redundant
