More greed, slaughter, war, wealth polarization, shorter life expectancy in the US, less literacy, less privacy, the triumph of the virtual over the actual?

I mean.. there's at least a 0.0000001%-Chance that, an arranged decimation of this Over-homo-sap-populated current shit-hole.. is in progress. I mean, further: should there be some ineffable-Truthiness behind the Cosmos? (quite cleansed of gullible-sapiens' tawdry Wishfulness)--and it's invention of Gawds who look-just-like-Us--along with most of the Stuff which drives-the-greed: Today's irritations are merely part of the Final-cleanup of a feckless species, thence its Replacement via some triumph of ~full-Consciousness. Say. aka * never misunderestimate the Power of even the teensiest of er, mathematical-Probabilities? eh. ..but what do I know. [at least: I have whipped that Certainty-fantasy ..close-enough?]

Water is a lot cleaner than it used to be. You can catch fish you can eat in water that when I was a kid, you could put your hand in at night and it would glow in the dark when you took it out. Lower life expectancy? So what? war slaughter? we are a long way from ww2 levels (not that we couldnt get there in a hurry. Less privacy?
