    Worse? I don’t get why everyone says it’s getting worse. It only seems worse because your curtain of innocence is torn away as you grow older. We as humans latch onto negative memories, they exist in our mind longer than positive memories because it’s easier to remember the bad. That is why everything seems worse.

    Mix that with the Internet, news, and so-on and all of a sudden it’s doomsday every day.

    It has always been shitty, but each decade is getting better and better on average. Outside of risks like Nuclear War, and Global Warming, there really isn’t anything else that will “end the world” as we know it.

    If you brought someone from ancient Mesopotamia and showed them this current world, they would not recognize it as their own. Nothing would seem familiar and their world as they know it has ended.

    I don’t understand why so many people fall victim to this negative pessimistic thought process of “humans suck it’s all going to end for us” instead of just focusing on the positive and improving the lives of those around them. If rude, mean, evil people try to fuck that over, trample them and continue being happy. If you can’t trample them, adapt and work around it. Freedom can be taken but your mind cannot be bound.
