@SenTree said:Actually, I made a throwaway remark for humorous purposes. Personally, I think the current generation has great potential, and I'm only sorry I won't be around to see them and their descendants explore the galaxy.Have you seen the current generation?I'm always amused by people who are depressed by noticing that we appear to be following Idiocracy down the tubes (which isn't precisely what you're saying, but close enough for a TDWTF thread) without realizing that it's no different than things have always been. I cannot honestly think of a past time in which I would rather live than the present.
I would implore you, however to resist the temptation of your shoulder aliens to respond that I think things are perfect or that history has been a steady improvement across all dimensions. Just say NO to shoulder aliens.
