Technology has not hit its peak, VR just in its infancy, ~20 years ago everything was fucking black and white, in the twilight zone of humanities fate of self destruction or infinite progression.
Just fuck my shit up. What are the FUCKING chances out of ALL the configurations that existed in the universe I had to be born in THIS present time
>Born too early to explore the universe, born too late to explore the world wasn't a meme but in fact real tea.
>Born too early to explore the Earth
>Born too late to explore the galaxy
>Born just in time to buy psychedelics on the Internet

You're not born in the worst time, though.
You're born in humanity's adolescence. The time is now to take your legacy to the stars. Information previously only acceptable to the sons of noblemen is now available with a simple search inquiry.
Now, anon, is the time the seeds empires spanning star systems are planted. Don't be sad that you aren't a denizen of the distant future. Be glad that you are a pioneer for it.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END GOD DAMNIT!
I can barely sleep nowadays, theres so much suspense towards the human race, I want to know if we fuck ourselves up or not.
>Space
I doubt we'll be doing anything related to that in our lifetime, our energy efficiency is fucking terrible, just picture this - the fastest speeds we can reach is by dropping bombs and riding shockwaves.

pre-antibiotic era had to be shitty
>slaughter a pig
>it's infected
>rub my eye while working on it
>muh head swells up
>dead 3 days later
true story from Mountain Meadows Massacre (but not really the subject of the book)
similar lethal shit still happens today but much less often

I used to think like you, but consider how many scientists and visionaries saw the future you are describing even 100 or 150 years ago: they felt much more trapped than us.
We just need some billionaire to use his fucking brain and invest in age reversal, and we might make it in the end.
Technology will never peak tho.

Someone born in the glory days will wonder, why couldn't they have been born at a turning point in history. A time when you could go out and change the world (like our God, Elon Musk is doing)

Errr. Notwithstanding revealing my age. I WATCHED black n white TV. It came in 1967, effectively colour has existed for 46 years not 20.

>claims to be over 46
>can't use the term 'notwithstanding' correctly in a sentence
And to think American education is only getting worse...

>Technology
Is a means to an end. The end is nigh. Almost 8 billion breeding, shitting monkeys, bananas running down. Possibly the worst time to be alive.
