The era (1990-2019) before humanity's recent right-wing shift may have been the pinnacle of what we humans were capable of ever becoming; in terms of collective unity, welfare, global coherence, and scientific progress. Now it feels like we're snapping back, like a rubber band stretched too far. I'm sure we'll never reach that height again.
