Fuck, for someone who is stuck in this rut ( ie me) we probably have the greatest quality of life in all human history and still complaining.
Yes but there's nothing stopping us from being so much better. We have the tools and resources. They're just not being distributed well. That's sure as hell better then living before showers and toilets, but still it's frustrating when we clearly see we're capable of a better way and we're reminded of that every day.
Yep totally agree with that!
Well you could at least have some proper vacation time, 2 weeks a year is way too little
4 weeks where I live.
It depends on how you measure it. People living in small-scale tribal societies tend to be universally happier than people living in big industrialized societies, but they also face a lot of problems and challenges that we've eradicated through technology.
