Do you like the times we are living in?

Nuff said.
Do agree with the way of direction the world is taking?
For example
Obsession with money, sex, respect, drugs, ruthlessness etc.

Yeah I hear what you’re saying

Do you think it’s all just the basic supply and demand thing?

Idk, there’s always been people saying the world is going to hell, IDK if it’s getting worse. People are very sensitive though, you look at someone for a second too long and it turns into WW3. I think the gap between the rich and the poor has never been greater.

Some things are better and some are worse. Such is life.

I think were ok, but I’m nearsighted.

Yes and no. I like being able to live a life with a semblance of normality despite having sza. But then again, i sometimes think if i was born further in the past, i may not have developed it. Since i believe a lot of mine was caused environmentally like drugs, trauma etc.
I think there are a lot of both good and bad aspects to our modern world. I love being able to chill out and play video games on a whim. That definitely would not have been imaginable two hundred years ago. But some of the cultural developments are not looking good. Like the things you mentioned. Excessive pride is the root of those things i think. Humility and selflessness seem alien to a lot of people. Im guilty of that too sometimes.

Yes. Like Ozy, I think some things have improved and some things are worse.

The advancement in tech improves our lives but at the same time has the potential to be very destructive. Potential superweapons for countries. AI could wreak havok in a number of areas and ways in a not too distant future.

Advancements may cure things like Alzheimers but by that time will Global warming be threatening much of the populations existence in the near future because of food or water scarcity or other factors? Or will we find a solution?

THe future is both promising and scary.

As for the past. No. It might be a good place for a vacation, but I would not want to live there. I like my pc. I like the technology we have. I wouldnt like to be sz in the past either.

So, I guess I’m happy where I’m at.

The past has levels of brutality and rape at a higher level I think. You sound like you just need to practice mental hygiene and not immerse yourself in subculture that you find to be negative. There are a lot of beautiful people out there. Don’t let tik tok be the end all.

If I didn’t live in this time, I wouldn’t have access to Abilify. Everything would be too loud, smell too strong, and feel aggravating to the touch. Colours are sometimes too much. The voices would talk over real people, and for longer, louder paragraphs of talking. I hear the older drugs are far, far worse for side-effects. I’m glad I’m in this time line.

I have been alive for 50 years. I have seen many things change, some for the better, and some for the worst.
However, all in all, I’m still not sure if I like or even wish to deal with the world they way it is. I personally think there are a few things that are too much of and some things there are to little of to give a wholehearted response of greatness to explain my answer anymore.

No, i don’t but i am trying my best to make it better,

Its hard when most of the world is against me, there are lots of things that weigh on me like climate change, the environment, war, the degradation of my culture, politics, evil.

I think life and society are repeating it self. Nothing is new under the sun. We just have social media so we hear about everything, and the media loves to sell us bad news, because it sells.
