Date: October 13th, 2025 9:09 AM Author: cell phones Generation after generation of humans rooted in visions of material and qualitative progress. The fucking Jetsons.
This entire worldview collapsed, within our adult lives. Seems like a major historical event.
Imagine the genpop now believing "oh yeah my kids will be much richer and better off than I am, or their grandparents were. Happier, prospering, beyond the frontier of new tech which will make everything wonderful."
This is the fundamental birth-rate issue. If pressed to move further, I think it's because Boomers broke a covenant that was many millennia old. |

Date: October 13th, 2025 9:35 AM Author: cell phones everyone gripes about boomers, yeah.
but have we really come to terms with a 1000+ year old bedrock assumption about human society ("the future will be better") being discarded? And only in the last 25-30 years (at most)?
Feels as big as Constantine converting or something |

Date: October 13th, 2025 9:38 AM Author: john radek (🧐) it's not a 1000+ year old bedrock assumption, it's very much a modern phenomenon. for most of human history jack shit changed over the course of 100 years or whatever and civilizations went backwards all the time (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5786001&forum_id=2)#49345674) |
