Re: Predictions

I still cannot form an opinion. It is too subjective and there are too many variables to consider. Today, I am content if I can make today better than yesterday. Some days I am content that I have another day. If I could predict whether tomorrow would be better than today, I might stand half a chance.
Can I speak from the perspective of a society? Again, some might find things to be better while others might find things worse.
I cannot determine whether our world today is better than it was 100 years ago. On the one hand, we are always struggling to make life better and easier for ourselves. On the other hand, the results of our endeavours create disadvantages. For me, there are only two options to choose from: I either don't know, or the improvements will be cancelled out by the disadvantages.
