    I think the best time was the 60s, 70s and 80s…people were free.

    But yeah, seems it constantly gets worse to live on this planet. Even though we have better tech now, it feels like people are very powerless.

    We don’t optimize for human happiness, we optimize for maximum profits.

      Hmm, straight white males were free. Everyone else, not so much.

          You’re literally more free than in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

          Unless you’re Vietnamese or from another country that got dealt the raw end.

      Depends on the country:

      • Portugal’s dictature ended in 1974
      • Spain’s dictature ended in 1975
      • Chile’s dictature lasted the 70s and 80s
      • Berlin wall fell in 1989
      • USSR collapsed in 1991
