If there was a time in the past that we were capable of solving our problems, why didnโt we do it then?
"Problems existing" is not the same as "never solving any problems." Old problems get solved, new ones arise, and no problem gets solved until it does. People in the middle of the process always point to the extant problems and go "welp, we've never solved that one, guess we're fucked"
Great point. Have we ever?
