   I hate how we live in an era of unprecedented wealth and technological advancement but we can't do anything with it but watch it slowly rot away while we consoom because society is spiritually dead.

     @spitfire Think about it. When you're a little kid you want to be an astronaut or an Indiana Jones archaeologist digging up cool shit from ancient civilizations. But we don't really do manned space exploration anymore, and academia is all about bitching about those "evil white male" colonizers that explore and try to understand the mysteries of the past. What is there really to work towards, to aspire towards? The truth is there's a lot to do and discover, but it can only be accomplished through large-scale coordination, and the people in charge of such organizations hate and resent anything noble and ambitious. We should be so much more than what we are.

     I don't think today's youth are that ambitious or even daydream about exploration or the stars. They just want to have a somewhat similar life to what previous generations had. I have south africoon in mind because i just saw that yt video about them being a failed state and see lots of similarities to other woke western coontries.

     @spitfire As a kid I wanted to dig up dinosaur bones and shit and I went digging in my backyard. I once actually dug up a pretty large chunk of quartz. It's not actually worth anything but I still have it and finding it was a pretty cool adventure. At the risk of sounding like a Boomer it feels like nowadays we just give kids tablets to keep them busy because you can't let them roam or explore, because at some point we decided an "inclusive" society is worth more than a safe and cohesive one where kids don't have to be helicoptered over.

     @ArdainianRight We're going to reach a noticeable natural resource depletion at some point in the near future and it should be all hands on deck to get to the stars. Instead we're worried about feel-goodsy first-X-to-do-Y "accomplishments" and chasing easy profits rather than actually bettering humanity. Yes, we're in a bit of a technological lull, and while I do think AI will have an impact, I think it'll be much like the iPhone, where it's not one that actually improves our lives or furthers us as a people.
     
     Kids wanting to grow up to be Mr. Beast rather than Neil Armstrong really doesn't help, either.
