I can't be the only one who finds this fact absolutely soul-crushing

Also, back after like a week or so with absolutely no internet. Only for today, though.

Well. You can think that, but you don't really know what will really happen.

Personally, I'm not that sad, because I think we actually live in the best years of humanity before self-annihilation. Economic collapse will likely soon happen and war for the last resources remaining will break out and kill most of the world population and probably leave civilization (if not Earth itself) in wastes. So yeah, I'd say be happy to be born in the relative material comfort of a western country while it lasts.

Also, that's not going to happen. Resources of the earth can't keep up with the retarded and wasteful development of humanity, and when we realize it it'll be too late. We're fucked.

this bothers me too.
But i what brings me joy is the thought that we have many ways of exploring the galaxy without humans physically leaving the planet.

Dude, asteroids. There are ridiculous amounts of precious metals on some of them. Plus we can get plenty of fresh water from them too. Just leave Earth to be a giant farm, I say.

I have given this some thought. You could focus on what things might be in the future, but you could also think of what we knew in the past. What wonderful things we have seen/know now that the great minds could have only dreamed of back then!

You will never eat the breakfast made in the Dexter intro.

You could say something similar no matter what time period you are born in OP.

Imagine ancient people of Switzerland. They wouldn't have even been able to get out of their fucking mountain prison. Or Japan, they'd never get to cross the ocean. Think of the things you can do today that they couldn't.

Fair enough, but our knowledge about what we can potentially do is higher than it's ever been in human history. Those cro magnons in ancient europe didn't know what Lake Superior was, much less a quasar or the horsehead nebula. You can't miss what you're unaware of.
