A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.
Like complaining about how children act, or how no one wants to work anymore. Or how the politicians have lost their minds.
I was watching something from the late 60s the other day, and there was a line by a young actress explaining that young people don't think there will be a future for them and are living accordingly.
It was the exact same sentiment you would expect to see while doom-scrolling today.

Basically every generation since the boomers had valid reason to believe WWIII would end us all. Everyones got nukes, and humans are stupid enough to use them!
Some degree of regression is less a matter of if than when unless our species can get its shit together. Look how hard COVID hit many parts of the world. While bad, it could easily have been much more serious. Imagine what the world would have looked like then.
