    It would be kinda funny if, in like two hundred years, historians refered to this time period as “The Total Shit Show.”

      It would be good if there we historians at that time. I’m turning a bit pessimistic as of lately 😞

            They had at least one small one. Rome was around for a while.

      Most wellbeing metrics are better than almost any other time in history, including lifespan and hunger. For history, we’re living in a golden age. It’s just a bit rough for us younger people because I believe we’re doing worse than our parents, and we are the first generation to experience that.
