People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?

I'm sitting in my air conditioned house, watching not one, but 2 HD screens, one of which is playing cheers because I love that show and I can watch it all I want anytime I want. The other is my phone which is a absolute miracle of human achievement allowing me access to the sum of the worlds knowledge which I'm currently using to look at funny shit that amuses me. Also I didn't move a finger to say any of that. I just said it and it typed it for me, correcting most of my mistakes. And you, who are reading this, might be literally anywhere on this planet right now. I also used my phone to order my food which was promptly brought to my home for my enjoyment.
The world certainly has a lot of shit aspects but on the whole, we are living in amazing times right now for those of us fortunate enough to be in a safe country.
Yeah, all great, now ask people how was life in the 80s and 90s and ask them if they prefer now or them.
I was alive in the 80s and 90s. I prefer now. I'm nostalgic for those times but I don't prefer them.
No worry of climate collapse, normal seasons, no massive heatwaves, no Trump, no Tiktok, no corporate dystopia, no Bezos, no Musk... yeah, sure, horrible times those were.
bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol
Solve me climate change and then I'll be happy. And no, ozone layer is not an equivalent problem and neither is the Cold War.
