Most people will argue that we live in a time better than ever before. Look at the Middle Ages: wars and prosecutions all the time, extreme poverty, slavery, life expectancy perhaps 40 years, half the children didn’t see their first birthday, people were burnt alive for “witchcraft”. Look at the last century: the two massive World Wars. The Cold War came pretty close of wiping us off the earth.
We live in great times. Enjoy it. The end of the world has been prophesized so many times. Hundred years ago there was more reason to be pessimistic.
