Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

what I read is that aside from the stunning medical advances, most improvements are just comfort and toys. What we have lost is more intangible and ultimately more important: the very earth heaves in pain, relationships between people souring, loneliness abounds, controls bind and blind us daily.

"ok, but apart from the clean air, drinkable water, vaccines, HVAC, accessibility, birth control, safer cars, elimination of indoor smoking, miraculous treatments for once-fatal diseases, and having the whole of human knowledge on a little box in your pocket... what has modernity ever done FOR US?"
