    You live in what is probably by most metrics the best time in human history.

    If you live in one of the rich countries. Otherwise it’s shit and you’re lucky to get a job picking the fruit that feeds those rich countries which pay almost nothing (still better then opportunities back home). Basically they’re picking up the scraps left behind by us, who live in those rich countries and think things like “this is the best time to be alive in human history”, completely ignoring all the human suffering that supports our lifestyles.

      Nah, I mean globally. Take your hypothetical fruit-growing country. Are things in 2025 in that country bad compared to 1925? 1825? 1725? 1625? If not now, when is the better time?
