Re: Is anyone else burnt out?

there's a lot of reasons it's not covered as much beyond just 'negativity sells'

- the fact that things are not as bad as they used to be is not really news, most of the time

- things that have gotten better are not things we actually need to deal with and face, and people are always going to be oriented towards things that are problems or require some kind of action or present an opportunity

- the world still has plenty of problems and threats and it's still worth paying attention to those. there's no law saying that the total amount of trouble in the world is increasing or declining; minimizing challenges and evils in the world for whatever reason doesn't make sense to me.

The world still has problems, sure.

But ask almost anyone if they would prefer to go back in time to a different generation and I imagine 95% of the population would say no.

Black people in America still have it fucking awful in the US, but I don't think anyone would want to go back to the 60s, 70s, or even 80s for instance.
