We have the best technology, the best medicine, convenience up the ass. I could pull up any kind of information I want in seconds. I can communicate with people across the world effortlessly. And that is the tip of the iceborg. We live in an age where time is measured in seconds and minutes. Whereas before, a lot of the simple shit we do every day would take hours, days, months, or even years.
Technological innovation is not similiar to enjoyable lifestyle, overwhelming modernization, online addiction, and depersonalization does not make for a good era. Because we are still bound by instincts we must attempt to control in order to live in society, and no amount of technology can ever change that.
We just moved up a slot on maslow's hierarchy of needs, we don't have to worry about acquiring food anymore, so now we wring our hands about how no one loves us. I wonder what humanity's like when we reach the top of the pyramid and we decide to become a part of something bigger than us. and yet, we're just a single mistake away from collapse. If we could only reciprocate that for every country in the world, and have no immigration/intermarriage anywhere, we would be living in a utopia.
