No, think about it.

As a whole, societies and their citizens are doing better than ever before.

Poverty and starvation levels are lower than all of history.

Many people have access to healthcare to varying degrees.

Internet access to knowledge is spreading globally.

Overall, this and the future are the best times for humans to be alive, for now.

Will it remain that way? Who knows, but for now: it's better.

Besides, those youngest people always joke about how death is best..... and nobody makes it out of here alive.

I don't know about you, but I like clean drinking water, hygiene products, vaccines, and the internet.

You could have said something similar in spirit right before one of the world wars you know. And shit, one in four people don't even HAVE access to the clean drinking water you just mentioned. There's a looming climate catastrophe that threatens to kill billions within our lifetime. Things may yet get better, but it isn't a given

One in four is better than three in four

Threatening to kill is different to it happening

It’s also not set in stone to be terrible , sure bad things will happen but everything about the future is just a guess
