Underdiscussed: Everyone thought future would be better until around 2008
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 13th, 2025 9:09 AM Author: underhanded hunting ground partner Generation after generation of humans rooted in visions of material and qualitative progress. The fucking Jetsons.
This entire worldview collapsed, within our adult lives. Seems like a major historical event.
Imagine the genpop now believing "oh yeah my kids will be much richer and better off than I am, or their grandparents were. Happier, prospering, beyond the frontier of new tech which will make everything wonderful."
This is the fundamental birth-rate issue. If pressed to move further, I think it's because Boomers broke a covenant that was many millennia old. |

but have we really come to terms with a 1000+ year old bedrock assumption about human society ("the future will be better") being discarded? And only in the last 25-30 years (at most)?
Feels as big as Constantine converting or something |

Date: October 13th, 2025 1:32 PM Author: Supple state Boomers broke the covenant in multivariate ways:
1. Tech advancement stalled hard starting the second boomers graduated from college. Peter Thiel discusses this. They suck at Engineering and thus the idea of a jetsons-like future went by the wayside with Cars getting worse every year and America being too dumb to make electronics/consoles/Games 2. They are the first gen to ngaf about “god” and reproducing for His sake 3. Taking ALL of the damn money in every way possible + all the other shit we complain about |

It's essentially an article of faith within Christianity that this world is hopelessly corrupted and constantly getting worse. Proof of this is basically everywhere. Try opening a history book sometime.
90's America was a completely insane aberration in the overall arc of human history. |
