Yeah, the sky is falling every other day, breaking news, people dead, wars and even things that seem that they should be worked out with our abilities such as hunger.
But.. when we look back, it seems to me the world has been a better place consistently when the time moves forward. Few factors, civilized ides of course modify advanced societies and usually those ideas always have few fundamentals, such as equality and all kinds of rights. Seems trivial, and these are not functioning to their full extent, sometimes they don't work at all, but at least we know good ideas. It's still better than not knowing them, even if we can't implement them.
We do learn from history. This is usually used when wars happen. But then again, we do learn from history, we can project things, we can compare, and things like science do go forward. Scientific methods are solid, and there are large communities that devote their lives to give us new improvements, and many of them that seem obvious today make our lives better. Sure, science comes up with better weapons, but also cures, technology of all kinds, entertainment at the end. Tools, help, something to do.
Every day the amount of science is more. I figure the more we have it, the better we are for it, even as a human race. Some fields grow faster and faster the more they know and we are able to utilize solid work from the past, because it was solid and we are able to grade and evaluate the work, even for future applications. These are huge advancements.
In the last few decades, we have connected all the people of the world into a single platform where we can change and share ideas, where we can make friends, have intercultural communication, do flame wars, do business... of course nto everyone is connected, it is a question of certain amount of wealth. But in theory, we are all connected now. Our cultures are shaping, new generations are learning yet new ways to communicate fast, think differently, hopefully build on what we now know to know even more.
The world isn't going into worse direction. We have the bad things we always had. But the amount of good things are ever increasing and the potential is bigger and bigger by the day.
I wouldn't even want to go back as close as the 80s. I want to live now. Maybe I could take a peak at the future as well
