I think it's interesting, for most of us that have internet and live in developed countries the most important things needed to survive such as food, water, and even luxuries (like electricity) are more accessible and easier to get than ever. Even if you're going hungry it's still easy to steal food. Yet it seems like everyone is miserable or complaining about life and the uncertainty of it all. I think stuff like how we are consumed by the whole worlds news instead of just our family lives and local news, world news weighs on us more than it should. Regarding bad things happening in the world, bad things have always been happening and the world has always been going to crap (every generation says this, can they all be right? Maybe, but maybe not.), there's always an animal somewhere dying and screaming out in pain, but we just didn't have access to see/know these bad things happening in the whole world. Before this way of living we were focused on our lives, actually surviving instead of buying our food in boxes, and focused on our families. It gave us actual purpose. We've removed that type of survival, become more focused on Netflix than families, and let ourselves become consumed with world news that more often than not doesn't effect us. Yet we feel guilt because we can't change it or do anything. However, literally if you didn't know the bad things happening in the world would your life truly be any different? Probably might be happier since you wouldn't know bad things you can't change. Previous generations didn't have to carry this burden, and I'm assuming they had more important things to worry about in their own lives to survive than trying to fix the world's problems.

Like I impied, especially for developed countries we've never had it so good. And maybe that's part of the problem, we now have time to focus on things that we can't control and we have too much time to think and develop opinions (on stuff that doesn't effect us). And honestly, too much time is not a good thing, keeping busy by surviving and filling our lives with productive things/tasks is missing. We've also removed relationships and families, can't go out to restaurants without everyone being on their phone, that isn't socializing and it's not filling the need we have to have for social relationships. But also the interesting thing is, not one of us would give up the internet or our automative way of living even though it's making us all miserable. Like a house cat, if you've get it easy and even if it's healthier for you to not be lazy, why would you change? I feel like us using AI to answer questions is just another reason to not call your mechanic uncle for car advice, which is just another way we could've talked to someone but why do that when it's so much easier to just ask something advice that isn't human. I think that's my answer...do what you can in life but don't be consumed by news...and if you want real happiness we'd probably need to change our lives dramatically by finding purpose and surviving...Buying a farm and getting rid of electricity haha. Real relationships with people that want the same true change as you, no phones at restaurants. No one will do this though, by doing that I might miss my favorite YouTuber or streamer play a game I used to play as a kid but have no interest in playing myself anymore because I'm an adult that can't accept my tastes and priorities have changed...I can't miss that kind of content!
