In the 90's I was young and foolish, a kid.... but my outlook on the future of mankind was a lot more positive than it currently is.
I feel like we're not on as "good a path" as we were back then.
It's like the entire world took a few too many wrong turns or something.
Some of it is cultural... like the metoo, feminism gone overboard, dating being basically a thing of the past / hookup culture, women swearing off men (man hate), men replying with "men go their own way", not to mention stuff like gender policies/identity stuff. We had a period of body positivity that was just women promoting being fat (how many of these influencers died in their 30/40s? its not healthy to die at 40, because of lifestyle choices). Europe doesn't look the same. There are so many 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants that don't want to assimilate into society, learn to speak local languages, or attempt to fit in. Look at France, with the mass riots over nothing (schooling spend supposedly), and then their hatred for western society means they think its okay to run around setting stuff on fire, or smashing things, mass destruction just leads more spending on upkeep. The replacement theory has born true... some parts of Europe the immigrant are higher % of the population than the people originally from there. Like Luxembourg, the people (natives) of the country are less than 50% of the population now. All of Europe will soon turn Muslim, and start to look like the middle east / africa.
Then there is global warming (rising sea levels).... and all the wars, and fights for resources to come (water, oil).
in short yes... the world seems fucked.
Western society, does seem on a downward trend.
Who knows what impacts will come from A.I or a SGI being born?
