I wonder if (assuming things get better) future generations would be like “I hate this boring and lifeless AI art that we have today, I wish I was born in the 2010s!” Or will the shit show that has been going for the last few years be so vivid that they would be happy not to have been born now.
Kinda like how it can be fun to imagine being born as a boomer and working casually while living luxuriously, but not so much to imagine being born in 1920s and going through WWII as a soldier
Or maybe they will also yearn to be boomers lol
I see throughout history things have their ups and downs. I look forward to the next up.
it doesn’t magically go up. people have to fight for it.
I hope you believe in reincarnation then, this isn’t going away
When Germany went full nazi, we were there to stop them
Now it’s us who are the nazi and who can possibly stop the largest military in the world by a factor of 3?
There has never been a better time for explorers. People lament that there’s nothing ‘undiscovered’ anymore, but after studying STEM and digging into history I’ve learned that the fact we currently have access to everything those early explorers left behind for us gives us an unprecedented window into what our world actually is, and how it actually works, if only you can look at it with an earnest desire to learn.
Mark my words: Those who actually manage to rise above the din will grow to shine more brightly than anyone has for thousands of years. There is incredible opportunity in hope right now.
That’s certainly an oddly optimistic take in this neighborhood.
Unless you mean space exploration, which I personally think is a delusional distraction.
I’m a pretty odd person.
Few say they wish they were born in 1930
The ones currently in power do.
Nah anything after 1927 and you would’ve been too young to fight in WW2, you’d get the post war boom but you wouldn’t be drafted
In Germany you would’ve been drafted and if surviving you’d have had to help rebuild a bombed-down occupied country. I certainly wouldn’t want to be born before the ~60s.
I’d love to be born in the 30s, too young to understand the depression and the economic boom of the 50s and 60s right when I’m hitting my prime age
Assuming you don’t just starve as a toddler.
I wasnt born in the wrong time, I was born on the wrong side of the planet…
We all were, whales got it right 50 million years ago.
There are some aspects of life that make me wish I was born at a different time than I was, and other things I like now that I wouldn’t want to do without. I don’t think it’s as black and white if an issue as this makes it seem.
I mean, it is the shower thought community, of course that this message is simplified and not completely thought out
People look at the past with nostalgia tinted glasses. Sure, things are bad now, but in the past they were even worse. Out of all the times I could have been alive, this day, with all the medical and social advances we have, is the best/least bad.
Ok enjoy your fascism
It was never edgy, you fuckers just lacked empathy till you faced struggle yourselves
Look, I don’t know what you personally went through in the past, but I’m talking about like these posts of people being like, “oh, I’m in the wrong generation. There is no good music and there’s no good art.” Not people who actually went through extreme hardships.
I just wish I wasn’t born lol
Yeah… I get that, but be safe :)
We all get what we get, find the good parts and enjoy them
*“I was born in the wrong generation”
