Title: Is the world going to crap?
Post by: nicname on September 20, 2016, 02:08:47 AM
It seems like way more bad stuff happens way more regularly these days.

You just hear about it all now.  Before you didnt.  Info is much more free and readily available.

I think it's been going on longer than 4 years.

I feel like this is actually the case. It just seems like the real bad crap is happening more frequently. I also work in the news, so that probably plays a roll in it as well.

Probably feels that way because of social media. We used to be able to be ignorant to some of this crap. Now it's everywhere.

like mir said, cops have been killing people without repercussions for as long as there have been cops. now cell phone cameras and dashcams and body cams cut into their impunity at the cost of you having to know about it.

yeah read like any book about US history and you'd quickly realize the world (or at least the US) has always been way more mumped up.

That whole era where the nazi's were trying to kill everyone was probably one of the worst we know of, but it probably doesn't touch the aztecs forcing ppl to jump into volcanoes to sacrifice themselves to the gods, after losing a game of Ullamaliztli. Could you imagine that system these days? We would have sacrificed Len Elliot a long time ago.

Yes, going to crap. Always has been.

There was a point in time without chick-fil-a, can you imagine such a world? No thanks, I say, I'll stick to the chick-fil-a present

Probably long after you die due to over population. It's possible things well be just as "good" but very different though.

It really is interesting how people in general have this weird sense that the way things used to be were better, even though at the time they never thought things were that great.

It's pretty common that ppl forget a lot of negative things.

This doesn't apply to my OP.

Take your dog for a walk, drink a domestic light beer, have sex with a partner of whichever gender you prefer. The world is pretty great.

It doesn't. Life is generally easier and better for most people in the civilized world than it has probably ever been. My post was in reference to the occurrence and intensity of tragic incidents.

Post by: catastrophe on September 20, 2016, 08:51:04 PM
My mistake then. I thought based on the title you were referring to the world in general, not that life was undeniably better than ever despite seemingly increased instances of tragedies in developed countries.

i'd say the world was pretty great ("good") 6000 years ago until eve was tempted to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge in the garden of eden. it's been going downhill ever since then.
