Why a hard yes or no?

One thing I tend to dislike about this modern world is the obsession with attempting to make things that are complex and varied into a black and white situation.

A world can't be okay if the people in it aren't.

Imagine you have a beautiful scene, lots of shady trees, gentle hills, the sea is nearby so you can go splashy splash whenever you want.

That itself is very much okay.

It becomes less okay if there's a whole bunch of racist people who detest the very notion of outsiders and they're a borderline cult that police themselves.

That would be a case where the world is nice, but the people aren't.

not really

was in a mood for most of the week due to an asshat of a co-worker (always talking to customers, and doing whatever he wants), pisses me off that management hasn't done anything about it. what getas me even more is that when he was hired, he put a stipulation in that he can't work weekends due to having another job that pays more, and I've been working every weekend where I work for the past 3 yrs.

it's things like this, and everything else that's going on in the world right now, that I wish I wasn't around

the world as a whole is pretty fucked up, though it's slowly getting better.

our lives as modern first-worlders specifically are relatively fantastic compared to anyone else in the world, past or present.

You can't really be mad about the working weekends situation. Can't blame the guy for giving priority to the job that pays him more.

At a job I used to work we lost one of our best guys because of something similar difference being is he'd call out of work if the other job needed him to come in.

As far as the world goes imo. No people ruin it. Everyone has their idea of what they think is best and has become extremely vocal about pushing those ideas onto people who disagree.

The availability of information is greater than ever before in human history, so that means that anyone with sufficient head-meats can learn skills and sciences that would have been revolutionary a century ago. The problem is, without certifications held by organizations that do not necessarily operate in good faith, like those that certify people in trades such as electrical engineering, plumbing, and architecture withholding certificates to keep the job market from being over-saturated, what you know is ever less important than who you know, or still more importantly, who knows you.
I'd say more, but underlining specific societal ails tends to upset people who have been trained to loathe their own culture, and to fear self-improvement.

I mean, if you look at how people and governments used to be compared to now not really

Im talking like early civilizations compared to now, back when the governments could do whatever because there was no bill of rights or magna carta, sure some governments are still like they were over a thousand years ago but people and governments for the most part are way more civilized and educated than they were

At worst some haven't progressed at all while everyone else did

The main thing it's worse in today people are constantly outraged or offended by things that really don't matter. I'm sure idiots like this always existed but thanks to social media they have a much larger voice than they used to and it's managed to suck in weaker minded people into being the same way.

I'm sure I could mention other points but I realize they are mostly opinions that will differ from person to person. Like while it was a rougher life some people may have enjoyed the wild west more due to having more freedom. That's just off the top of my head and not my personal opinion as I'd rather be here today than there.

No. The current PC and outrage-driven climate is horrible and makes me afraid every day that I'll do something or, worse, nothing that will end up with me being socially crucified.

But, that aside...

No. I want to see us progress. I want robotic limbs better than organic ones. Bionic eyes. Bodies that never grow fat. I want to travel to Mars. I want to see us move beyond money by making resources so abundant that money is meaningless. This world is *better* but we need to keep improving.

Yeah that's kinda what I was getting. Especially when we are crucifying people for shit they said or did decades ago. People can change but today's world (or at least Western world) act like that's not the case.

The modern world is terrible politically, way too much extremism from the fringe left and right and a lot of profiteers from the current Dems and GOP to the censoring IOC, all are causing misery solely for profit.
