i think in 100 years people will look back at 2022 and be even more astonished at how bad our quality of life was than we are looking back at people who lived 1000 years ago

Highly doubt that will happen. Things really are not that bad right now. 1,000 years ago people were mass murdering each other with swords and dying of famine

“Can you believe people slept?” “Can you believe people communicated via ‘words’ and using their mouths?” “Can you believe people needed to eat meat and vegetables in order to survive? Like ‘calories?’” I agree ☝️ it’ll be a wild future.

100 years from now… “Can you believe people spent their time doing things they didn’t enjoy?”… Crazy, people are working on this right now (specifically in Crypto 👀).

This is probably true in real terms. But if they follow the pattern we do, they will have 1000 better lives but still believe they are worse off and that Armageddon is still coming. And possibly believe that the past was this idyllic period that it wasn’t?

"Can you believe people died?" This is somewhat hyperbole, but it's still interesting to think about

It’s more likey that we continue to debate what basic human rights are for the next 1000 years. Just like the last 1000 years…
