      We’ve solved a lot of problems in the past few decades, just not all of them, and we added new ones on top.

      Stop hoping for a problem-free world. Your children, if you choose to have some, will see problems of their own. Some will be those we’ve failed to address. Others will be brand new.

        We aren’t toddlers and no one has said or implied they believe otherwise. We are saying “there are a lot of bad things, many of which we can improve and should try to improve.” No one is saying “we will have peace and prosperity and equality across the board in the next 5 years or we are all failures.” I don’t even know who you are responding to anymore. You’ve just got some caricature/bogeyman you’re swinging at.

        Drop the old wise man routine please. It’s incredibly patronizing.
