    Things are shittier right now than they were 10-20 years ago, but they’re a lot better than they were 50+ years ago.

      For certain, and in the grand scheme of things 50 years is nothing. For most of humanity generation upon generation would pass without any significant advance.

      The last 100 years really hints at the speed of the singularity curve as things are getting better at an insane rate. But there are costs to those advances that if left unchecked can truly threaten the future of our species.
