    Right now*

    We’ve almost caused, and now will forever have the capacity to cause, a mass extinction event with nuclear bombs. If the cold war had turned hot we probably wouldn’t be saying how good we have it in the industrial age compared to the agrarian age.

    There’s also the more slow motion extinction event in the form of climate change.

    But yes for those living in the west from 1950 ~ 2150 it’s a good deal

      We are currently experiencing a mass extinction event on a similar scale but greater speed than the Permian mass extinction.

      CURRENTLY. It is getting worse.
