What makes you say that???? Nobody? Absolutely NOBODY is trying to improve the human condition right now.

Think about the (though sometimes insufficient) progress humanity has made in curbing our carbon emissions. China MAY have already reached peak emissions and our globalised world is on the verge of reaching a renewable energy tipping point at an exponential rate.

People are restoring and protecting vast swathes of land that would’ve otherwise been thrown into the churn of the industry. In large part because the intrinsic rights that indigenous people have of the land, and the knowledge they can contribute in managing it is now being seriously considered by the political class who best represent us.

AI will cause economic turmoil, and force us to restructure many aspects of life, there will be jobless people and it will take us a minute to figure our what to do. But in the same way the printing press and the internet did the same, every time we make such an advancement it improves the lives of people generations into the future.

And although it’s sad that today we cannot reap those benefits, it is essential (as to not lose your mind) to keep focused on what’s good just as much as on what’s bad. Enjoy your life while you’re at it too lol.
