Madame,
Adore the picture! (and caption)
Yes, it’s maybe the lack of sunlight. :)
Only YOU could be sunny and cheery and also avoid the false
positive psychology trap. Consider
yourself in need of bottling. :)
Yes, yes, as the historian, I have been quite remiss in pointing
out improvements. For instance:
Even as the population increases, millions rarely die in a short
period of time. Thousands sometimes,
certainly. And we take note of such a tragedy. Past generations dealt with a lot worse.
American unemployment is down, even adjusted for the hidden
unemployed.
More comforts exist for more people than ever before (I am aware
that Gibbon would find this a weakness, at least among elites).
Great medicines and medical advances exist.
Travel is way more than hoofing it 20 miles to the next town. And better, and convenient, and comfortable!
Food is a lot more interesting.
People can post naked pictures of you one week, and no one cares
(or much remembers) a month later. For
both celebrities and “regular” people.
Information is very plentiful and convenient. Mostly! :)
Mass nuclear war/utter destruction is far less likely.
Smoking is restricted or penalized. Okay, personal bias on that one.
The younger are making music that I enjoy.
Jon Stewart is still around. :)
Ah. Much better. :)
