Comment on Newspaper in 25th march 1924 writing to historians in 2024
Globulart@lemmy.world 8 months agoPretty sure people though that in the 1910s, then again on the 1940s, then a few times in the 70s/80s, and now again.
Eventually we’ll be right, but humans as a group seem to have incredibly bleak outlooks.

Ya, by 1st time, i meant in the last generation of humans. Starting in the 30s or so when people started seeing the invention of the things listed above.
I didnt mean like just now in the 2023. Or last decade.

The 30s were about 3-4 generations ago…

No one from the 30’s is still alive?? I better go check on my grandparents.

I haven’t downvoted you bud…
Generation means something very specific when you’re talking about the last generation of humans, being alive doesn’t make you the same generation as everyone else currently living.
