For those say in their 60s or 70s here. When you were in your 30’s or 40’s did you have the feeling that the world was a fucked up place? So much has been going on since I entered adulthood in the early 2000s and I feel like it’s getting more and more intense. It’s never ending.

Is it unique? Or has it always been this way?

    If you’re comparing to a decade ago, yes. However, even with the increased number of wars, it is still more peaceful than before 1945.

      Not more peaceful than 1945. The way things are going to total death toll of war will become comparable to WWII.

      But between WWII and 2016 we have seen a decline of conflict. Now we’re seeing an incredibly steep increase.
