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

    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.

    So no, not same as always. The underlying principle yes, but the scale was physically not possible before.
