"Unsustainable Society" No matter your opinion on current governments, humanity has been around for an awful long time, and it will likely continue to be around for significantly longer into the future of the universe. In my opinion, that's pretty cool.

In the grand scheme of things, just looking back over the past couple hundred years, the vast majority of humanity is in a better spot than we were, no matter how bad things may seem on a small time scale.

Yeah, global climate, carbon dioxide levels and even biodiversity are in a better spot nowadays than they were before, huh? That's pretty cool! /s

You definitely are right some things are worse, but I more so meant quality of life in almost every single aspect for people that are alive. No shit, there are atrocities across the world still and things locally suck in many ways to varying degrees for a significant portion of the population in the world. Either way you can't argue I'm good faith that the average humans quality of life hasn't gotten exponentially better over the past thousand years. And I think that trend will continue into the next thousand years.
