You statement could be made about literally any time in human history and hold true.
It's defeatist. I feel you, sure- but it's like religion or politics- to each their own.

40 years ago terrorists blew up something almost weekly worldwide, Russia was genociding a neighboring country all the same, cold war was in full swing, a computer glitch almost caused an all out nuclear war, and 4 million people died of hunger in Ethiopia alone.
No, but there was the constant looming possibility of nuclear annihilation.
terrifyingly, a situation in which the lucky ones would have been the ones to die in the blasts

> faced the same cost of living fiasco
It seems like many people get into relationships for financial reasons, so this should be a motivator if anything.
With respect; why? 40 years ago the future looked very different. None of you felt urgency regarding global warming, faced the same cost of living fiasco, spread of drought, fire, mass migrations, political instability, and whatever conspiracy driven idiocy social media will unleash next.
There is no divine mandate humanity carry on a particular way. No reward for sticking it out with these entitled, self aggrandizing creatures.
