>>11111357>>11111375Our quality of life improved a lot. Nowadays you have many treatments for many different diseases. General public infrastructure increased a lot, specially in developing countries. People die way less of starvation and thanks to the way we can spread information now, we can help people in situations that no one would ever know about if we didn't have the internet. Plus, we are more aware of what our politicians do, which decreases tyranny. Think about it, what would the current Hong Kong situation be if we didn't have that, for example?
Also, yeah, of course jobs are harder to maintain. With more technology, we need people with more and more training and knowledge in order to maintain the system. By the way, now you have access to education WAY MORE than before. Back then, if you wanted to study math, for example, you'd have to rely on university books, assuming that you had access to it. Nowadays you can simply go on Khan Academy or Youtube or StackExchange and learn it all for free.
About the suicide and depression thing: sure, the way we're raising our children to be dependent pussies is growing. But at the same time, if you have depression now, you are not treated like you're just a faggot whining about shit. Maybe you don't know about this, but back then there wasn't such thing as "I can't work 'cause I'm depressed". Plus, we have way less wars now and in many countries violence is decreasing.
So, here's the summary: Sure, some aspects have gotten worse, but generally speaking, we can now live with way less pressure and much more quality of life than we ever did. We just need to get our heads out of our 1st world rich asses and take a closer look at what the world used to be.
