I've never met someone in all of my walk of life that tells me with a straight face they'd rather live during the late Middle Ages than now.
And actually, I've only met a few people that can confidently tell me they'd rather live at another point in history.
And I've never met a woman who actually thinks that they'd rather be alive at any other point than today for all sorts of obvious reasons.
Well, you say that, but...
A lot of people are willing to tell me very straight face that we're fucked.
A lot of people are willing to tell me very seriously, this is it.
This is the peak of civilization, or actually we peaked some time ago.
People go, oh, I missed the 90s.
I go, wow, let's talk about that.
But my whole argument is if you actually believe that this is a bad period of time, let me remind you how bad it once was.
And also what came from that, that actually hard times do produce a bunch of incredible moments.
And I'll look at all the stuff that's fundamentally broken with you and stare at it and also say, here are all the reasons why I think a lot of these things can get a whole lot better.
And you couldn't have really done that in the late middle ages.
You needed a lot of hope.
And you know what else?
A lot of those people died without it.
And I say this to people, so much of the world we live in today with truly unmetered information is you just know too much.
And a lot of people...
have a window to the world that is actually too big.
I really think the cross that especially the young people bear today is that we gave them access to all the horrors, all the atrocities of the world without the brain that could metabolize it.
