What about times you can remember, was it still better than today? Does existing longer means you glorify past time because of ignorance or just simple nostalgia?

The problem now is we have too much time on our hands and nothing really meaningful to do with it. We are a consumer society, and the more you can accumulate and consume, the more successful you are. We consume for the duration of our lives and then die. For nothing. Not for some higher ideal, or because we are working toward something meaningful as part of a group. It's just for the sake of having more and more so that we can climb the social ladder to get better mates. It's completely empty and the end result is sex and raising children just so they can grow up to be consumers too.
