"relative to how much better things theoretically could be" is ultimately where I'm coming from mate.

Relative to how things could be, from the perspective of typical historical negativity, I think things are great and humanity is in a wonderful position to find an even greater state of being than the apex we are currently in.

I'm optimistic about the future.

Haha, that's cool. But I've had a working lifetime of being trained not to rail against the status quo without a realistic alternative, so it's hard for me to NOT react.

In this case, realism requires acknowledging that the general shirtiness of human nature isn't going to change, and that no more efficient macroeconomic system has yet been invented that takes actual human nature into account.
