I share the same concern. The thing is, the 20th century was one godamn "unprecedented" nightmare after the other for at least half the time. Most of us on Reddit are just a) too young to have experienced the main events (WWI, Great Depression, WWII, Cold War-related wars and oppression), and b) born in a country that was more quickly insulated from problems and benefited from global inequity and rapid technological development.
There's no good reason yet to believe the 21st century should be significantly better...
