"The world is the best it has ever been by nearly any metric." How about fertility of the soil, area of land covered by desert vs forest, number of insects and in general diversity of wildlife, amount of fossil fuels burned every minute, amount of opioids intake, anti depression drugs consumption, number of days you have to wait to see a special doctor, inflation rate, ...

But give it some more geopolitical escalation and you getting drafted as well in the neae future remains a very real possibility. |
