By basically any metric the world is the best place for humans it's ever been. Absolutely poverty has collapsed over the last few decades and will be non existent in about 15-20 years.

Basically every human has gotten access to all the world's information in the last 10-15 years (unless their government has a firewall).

The fact that 2 people want to actually do something that is extremely inspriring to most non-envious and resentful people is a result of the fact that humanity has massively improved it's state of living recently.

And btw, generally doing inspiring things and failing forwards is much better at improving things. Just have a look at how Tesla has radically changed the car industry and turned it electric. Without Tesla the car industry would be doing fuck all to turn electric.
