> Whenever I get a brief feeling of "this is bad," I remind myself that humans have conquered far worse than whatever "this" is and that we are likely to triumph over this thing too.

I do something very similar, though slightly different.

Whenever I notice something bad i rejoice that I've probably lived through the best times our western society likely ever have

I at least experienced a reality which didn't have [the bad thing] as the norm.

Society is not gonna get more equal from now on, so Gen Beta (people that are currently being born) are gonna have a massively worse life then I've had.



Have we had to handle anything as bad as global climate change which can possibly render much of the lower latitudes near inhospitable for humans?


Oh, somehow this kinda clicks for me.

Thank you!

Reminds me of:
