Uh, yeah. That rings a bell.

I wish I could skip 1000 years ahead. Either we fixed thing or humanity has died out. I win either way.
-
Or, it's the same, we're living and shit sucks.
-
True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.
So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.
Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape

1000 years ago we didn't have a surveillance state, climate collapse, tiktok, 4chan, drone strikes, school shootings, car accidents, car dependent infrastructure, pollution smog, microplastics, fox news, subscription services, hiring AI, police robots, the gig economy, leafblowers, overdraft fees, airbnb, overseas concentration camps, white phosphorous, fracking...

Yeah, there's a lot of bad, but he's right. On average, the vast majority of humanity is significantly better off than we were a thousand years ago.
-
Africa is struggling to recover from colonisation. The middle east is a warzone. The Americas and Australia are being occupied by invaders. Europe is in financial crisis. I don't really know about east Asia. Even Antarctica is melting. Capitalism is worse for the worker than feudalism.
-
You don't seem to understand the fact that the vast majority of humanity is still better off than we were a 1000 years ago even with the current bad.
-
China, India, The Americas, Australia, many parts of Africa? Life was good there.
Even Europe was not that bad. If you had many more free days, work that was meaningful and unprocessed food, how bad would it be to die earlier? In total, they still had more days of life for themselves.

I'm hoping it's like "The Year 2525"

What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.

Can I get everything I need from the bottom of a long glass tube?
-
Yes but everything is shot straight up your ass. Food, news and entertainment. Straight up the ass through a tube.
-
1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment
-
man. tube. food. camera. TV.

Reminds me of the pilot episode. When Fry wakes up in 3000 and says 'everyone I know is dead... YES!!!'
-
Well, the 2020s so far seem to resemble the 1930s surprisingly closely. So if we haven't destroy us by then, chances are things won't be that different.
-
Can you elaborate your win when humanity died out and you are the only one left?
-
Don't have to get permission to live, fishing regulations no longer apply so it shouldn't be too hard getting food. Also the sea and rivers won't be polluted like they are now.
-
Or everything is polluted and that’s why humanity died
Are the fish adapted to a mercury rich environment safe to eat?
-
Mercury bears love them. You not so much.
-
Now makes me wonder how long it would take for the mercury to disappear from the environment.
-
Why would it disappear?
-
Through sedimentation, then it goes down into the earth back where it came. Not sure what kind of rate that process is though.

What if it’s full medieval and the king just ordered an expedition to the great library to bring back electricity?
Good news is, you’ll have memes back if you skip some years.
