Given all of the often legitimate criticisms of the direction society is headed, can we at least admit that, by almost every objective metric, we are astronomically better off than we've ever been in history?
Whether you're looking at life expectancy, GDP per capita, human rights proliferation, literacy rates, corruption rates, rates of violence, etc., we are either in the middle or the start of a golden age.

Re: We're pretty good
By the metrics you listed yes.
Culturally, that's a different story, I think the culture itself is decaying even while we make advancements in technology and economic production.
And in terms of human rights, freedom of speech is being erroded in the rest of the west, the UK in particular.

Interestingly enough many would argue factory farming tied humans to a specific lifestyle where we had to "work" and lost a lot of our freedoms. Some would also argue it restricted our diet and we were as domesticated by the crops we farmed as they were by us. They would also argue they tied us to communal societies and hierarchies. It's all interesting stuff.
Agreed, I also think something weird is happening to our youth due to the internet and rolepaying they now obsess about cartoon tweens instead of real women. Instead of having a modern equivalent of a Debbie harry poster at the end of there bed they wank off to pictures of Raven from the teen titans. ****ing ridiculous tbh.
Don't Worry about it. You Leftist Fascists are dong everything you can to get rid of Free Speech. That should solve your "Social Media" Problems up nicely.

When I was a late-late teen it was Christina Applegate, Jennifer Anistan, Alyssa Milano and Monica Bellucci, sure I watched cartoons as well, but I wasn't touching myself to them.

I didn't say that's what was good about it, and you and I have had conversations before where I've flat out said I don't have a problem with homosexuality.
