We’re more aware of it. We constantly drink from a firehouse of outrage and anxiety. Yea technology

Exactly this, back in the 1900s your scope was much more limited. Before radio, it was the range of the farthest newspaper. Before the Internet, it was the range of the phone networks. Now we have filled in most corners of the map, you can read resturant menus in Tokyo, place bets on teams playing in Mexico City, and all while sitting in your flat in Dublin. The world has always been a shitty place, its just much easier to be aware of it.

The schizophrenic village elder has foretold the past present and future and he says the future is he gets to diddle your youngest son and daughter.

The past was shit, that's why we are shit now. But we don't always have to be shit. Maybe if we work really hard we could be fertilizer for the future.
