The world is not awful. The world just is.

It's just humans create environment they don't understand and can't handle, and it takes them a lot of time and effort to even somehow organise it on a small piece of a land. And then it ruins, and then they construct it again, and cetera.

I mean, if you're rejecting that humans assign values to things around them, then nothing is anything.

[yhavr]

Well, humans love too much assigning values to things around them, randomly-emotionally, and these values tell more about flaws of humans cognition, not the things itself.

Say, one of cases of judgement about about "world" is something like "world became a better place" usually feels like a person thinks that some fundamental constants has changed, and changed irreversibly. So before humans managed to enslave and kill each other but now magically stopped. Slavery no more, democracy! And then putin starts a full-scale invalion on Ukraine, it's exception. And when exception turns into rule everyone forgets about their misprediction and postrationalises the new agenda (it was obvious that it's going to happen), it looks funny.
