Are you happy?

Are you happy with the current state of our civilization?
Where should we be?
Where are we now?
Did we take a step backward?
If so, when did we start to go backward?

Socially, ethically, morally, economically, scientifically... Are you happy with where we are?

Yes, I'm pleased with the way things are. Like always, the future is uncertain and could turn out shitty

As a whole, I find it hard to respond to those questions with a solid answer. There are so many different aspects to the world, each with it's own "current state" and "where should it be" aspect to it. There are some things that I'd love to see improved just like there are some things that I would like to see remain the same.

It's a tough choice, but I'd say we're about right in the middle. We need to stop and realize that what we do now will determine the outcome of civilization. It's either uphill or downhill from here; sadly, with the way much of society has been acting lately, I'm only seeing it going downhill.

America's going to crumble just like any empire, Global Warming is becoming an issue few people want to seriously address, good people are dying in a war that few people believe in and seems to have no end in sight, the rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer, other than that, yeah, it's all good.

You forgot to mention the word penis in your post, therefore he has no idea what you are talking about.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Empires "crumble" (though, really, no true empire has ever truly died)

Society "fails" (really though, things just change and people are resistant to change)

War claims the lives of many, some "innocent", some not. (war has always done this - perhaps this is the very underlying utility of war in the first place. War is here to stay. Get used to it.)

We are running out of resources! (some time ago, we had hunted whales almost to extinction. What were we to do?! Without whale blubber to fuel our machines, how will we possibly survive??? Obviously, things changed. Attitudes however, did not.)

All in all, the world is going to Hell in a hand basket. Kind of like it always has...

There is no greater apotheosis of the human condition, there is no grand society free of prejudice and acceptant of all individuals, there is no greater meaning to the civics of human duty and compassion or monolithic undertaking of human technology, deity in scale, emancipator of the free mind and master of the multiverse. It's just people. Always has been, probably won't always be, but for a long while, that's all we've got - person to person is all that ever truly matters.

Fuck the isms, they won't get people anywhere.
