You seem proud of our current predicament.
There have been huge technical advances. Incredible progress.
But equally huge destruction and incredible externalities.
You seem to enjoy fireworks.
>The world, a couple hundred years ago: Our world is everlasting.
No one ever said that...not even the bible ;)

That like saing Aircraft's are incredible but they make pollution...it says absolutely nothing.
>You seem to enjoy fireworks.
An you seem enjoying wasting energy for nothing...not even a beautiful firework.
Except to describe the entire history of the last, maybe 150-300 years, and the dilemma of the next 150-300 years.
And, anyway, I enjoy a good firework, but I never said I wanted our world to be one.
Pessimists have been historically wrong. I consciously choose to be an (prudent) optimist.
I'm a frustrated optimist, if that helps.
