Same as it ever was. Today’s incomprehensible horrors will seem quaint and simple 100 years in the future.

Sigh, when people think they are being profound but just spout the most trivial shit…

No, I don’t think I’m being profound by saying something akin to “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” I just don’t think today is all that different from the past.

Again: in the past they couldn’t, even if they tried, fuck up the whole biosphere of our planet as we are doing right now.
So no, not same as always. The underlying principle yes, but the scale was physically not possible before.
