It's never going to be perfect. It's hard to tell, but this is the best humanity has ever had it. So obviously something has worked out. We can do better, but that doesn't mean no good has happened.

Yeah that was a quip more than anything… should include a meme of post bomb Hiroshima with a ‘why did I have that last whisky’ comment.
Ah yes, he best humanity has ever had is when there are more slaves then any time before in history, and we get to watch videos of Israelis raping babies on our phones while the politicians tell us that it's good for Israelis to rape babies and we all deserve to be killed for saying raping babies is bad. Yeah humanity has never been better before (if your idea of humanity is raping babies)
Still, my point would be the same. People pretend like life was a fairytale when the reality is that far more people suffered many more horrors than now. Natural and unnatural. People lose sight of the progress that has been made because of the bad that still exists.
