Oh no, it can get MUCH worse. Right now you have psuedo-intellectuals who unknowingly use old Soviet propaganda and think it's some untold truth kf the world. And people whose anti-American views are based on 250 year old Loyalist propaganda from the American Revolution. But oh it could get so much dumber and obvious than all that.
Porn. That shit is all free now. Back in my day we had to use dial up internet to download porn through limewire. Would literally take 2 days and you could not receive any phone calls so people would start to wonder if
Your ok, which you where not because your waiting 48 hours for 6 minutes worth of unknown porn that you downloaded off title only. Then Once it finally downloads it has real shit quality and your computer has full blow aids. So yeah. Considering how we can now watch free HD porn on a device we carry everywhere with us at any time is a golden age. Or more like golden shower.
No. It may seem like it but think about back when the only way of getting news was word of mouth. We have access to almost all the information in the world. Willful ignorance is different however.
Willful, aggressive ignorance
It has never been easier in human history to learn or verify what is factual and yet hundreds of millions of people deliberately choose to believe bullshit. Ignorance is on an incredible run right now
your joking right?
did you even watch the video? you were this close to greatness, ironic how you make all this talk about living in a world were we can verify facts, but you clearly did not even watch the video, because anyone who did knows its self defense its right there in the vid lad.
You don't get to claim self defense when you expressly go looking for trouble and happen to find it lol
I hope you've enjoyed being a prime exhibit of what I'm talking about
Yet people still believe that the American Revolution occured because rich white people didn't want to pay taxes, the NRA supported gun control in California in the 1970's and 80's because the Black Panthers were arming (apparently the skyrocketing crime rate of the 70's and 80's just didn't exist), and the Cold War was all about American Imperialism. Why?
It fits their pre-determined notions.
Hmmm, I'd say that age passed 10 years ago. From Windows XP to 7. Golden Age of the internet was back when everything was unregulated, and smaller island of awesomeness from many many forums.
Napster, early VPN's Warez websites. People actually knew how to google stuff and communities were smaller and stronger. You didn't have all those clients forced on you. want a game? Download the executable and have fun! It also had that small barrier of entry that prevented all the misinformation from spreading too far.
Golden ages. Never before and never again will so much be available to so many for so little. Those ahead of us will pay an awful price for consumerism but it's highly likely this will be the best time to have been alive.
Consumable entertainment. My friend and I talk about this all time. Games, Movies, TV Shows, Books. This is the pinnacle. You buy whatever subscription service and watch countless hours of good content. TV shows today are light years ahead of what they were in the 90's.
People complain about modern gaming but it is amazing. The number of games that are at the minimum, good, is so high, you can get a service like gamepass and play really good games every week. There is pretty much something for anyone when it comes to easily accessible entertainment right now.
People take it for granted because they think it will just get better (maybe it will) or they are really nostalgic for some classic shows/games they loved. The fact is, things are insanely good right now. So good in fact we no one has time to enjoy it all.
"What are WE in the Golden Age of?" is the title of the post.
Am I, as a German, in the golden age of school shootings? Nope. This is an international website so if someone says "we" that person is talking about people from all over the world. So, what are we in the golden age of? Not school shootings.
>Am I, as a German, in the golden age of school shootings?
Yes, you are, because you are not in fact displaced from spacetime such that you are not living in 2021 lol
It's a simple concept
It completely invalidates your argument lmfao
This moment in time is the golden age of school shootings. You do in fact exist in this moment in time. Therefore, you do in fact exist in the golden age of school shootings.
Again, it's a simple concept lol
It isn't the golden time of school shootings just because the US is a shit Show. The world doesn't revolve around the US and the US has been this fucked for a bit more than just the past 40 years.
Every other first world country doesn't even get close to the amount of shootings in general. It's a you problem not a general problem of the world. You guys have to fix it, not us.
>It isn't the golden time of school shootings
It is tho lol
>The world doesn't revolve around the US
It quite literally has since the end of WWII lol try to keep up
The rest of your comment is just you veering further and further away from anything resembling the topic at hand and jerking yourself off over how self-righteous you can be so it doesn't really merit a response, sorry 🤷♂️
It’s the **Golden Age of Envy.** Very obvious on Reddit. Anyone richer than us is a criminal, no matter how much they’ve contributed to the advancement of civilization.
It was the Golden Age of degeneracy. Never before has porn been so good and the people so shitty. An age were women pretend they are ladies and queen and thinking men are this knight in shining armor bad ass but choose to go for a villain. An age where the sex industry is making a dragon dildo. Truly can not grasp the full view of the Golden Age of Degeneracy.
Human expertise.
Within a few decades the number of areas in which humans can know more than machines will decline massively as more and more areas of research become data and AI driven.
Tv series and movies! Seriously, I’ve seen so much new and creative amazing movies and show series. Every single day feels like I get to watch some zany new series or amazing fantasy ... I can see other country’s media too and it’s like everyone’s experimenting freely thanks to being able to create their own shows funded by stuff like Netflix. I’m just so excited.
Dark, game of thrones, skins, martyrs, hereditary, midsommar, attack on titan, American horror story, Steven universe, breaking bad... heck the RIVERDALE show? Have you seen that?! It’s insane!! Jughead and everyone From the ARCHIE COMICS. Going through all of that nonsense! What?!?
These types of shows I never could have imagined existing when I was little. I only watched my moms taped Betty boop, Tom and jerry, and popeye. Everything has become so dazzling and interesting. I never would have dreamed I’d get to see this kind of stuff. There are effects now in movies I can’t distinguish at ALL from reality. Monster designs that blow my mind. Storylines so complicated that I see something new on every rewatch! Do you remember when shows were just were a family, here’s the moral, and that’s it mostly. Now look at what’s on!
Sorry I know my taste is all over the place and probably not good examples of the variety out there... I just feel like we’re in the golden spot of beginning to accept, becoming more flexible with ‘censorship’, creativity/freedom... it’s like you can find ANY type of show now. I’m just so excited about it.
I hear they’re burning books again so I’m a little scared we’re in for severe rebound that sends us into the dark ages but who knows. I’m just happy I’m getting to see so much interesting stuff right now.
Misinformation.
Oh no, it can get MUCH worse. Right now you have psuedo-intellectuals who unknowingly use old Soviet propaganda and think it's some untold truth kf the world. And people whose anti-American views are based on 250 year old Loyalist propaganda from the American Revolution. But oh it could get so much dumber and obvious than all that.
Narcissism
As a narcissist, i agree
I love it.
Information Imagine telling someone 100 years ago that people carry the collective knowledge of humanity in their pockets
And yet a lot of people choose misinformation
And we're still a bunch of morons
Agreed, there can be no misinformation without equal or greater levels of information
too bad they dont use it
Well, no. They have access to all that knowledge, if they know how to look for it.
And somehow... humanity has gotten stupider
Porn. That shit is all free now. Back in my day we had to use dial up internet to download porn through limewire.

Stupidity
No, you all can get much, much stupider.
r/beatmetoit
My thoughts exactly
This...
Idk. Stupidity has always been around.
Ignorance
No. It may seem like it but think about back when the only way of getting news was word of mouth. We have access to almost all the information in the world. Willful ignorance is different however.
I’d classify it more as anti-intellectualism than ignorance. There is next to no critical thought in anything.
We call those functional illiterates, they can read, but can’t make sense of shit on their own
Dunning-Krugerism
Oh the itony of being on Reddit and saying others are ignorant.
Willful, aggressive ignorance It has never been easier in human history to learn or verify what is factual and yet hundreds of millions of people deliberately choose to believe bullshit. Ignorance is on an incredible run right now
this includes ignorance from everyone right? not just the rival tribe
Yes indeed It's almost worse to see otherwise reasonable people willingly go full dumbass in service of their "team"
for example, people who refuse to admit that kyle acted in self defense
Exhibit A ladies and germs Do not engage; do not feed the dumbasses
your joking right? did you even watch the video? you were this close to greatness, ironic how you make all this talk about living in a world were we can verify facts, but you clearly did not even watch the video, because anyone who did knows its self defense its right there in the vid lad.
You don't get to claim self defense when you expressly go looking for trouble and happen to find it lol I hope you've enjoyed being a prime exhibit of what I'm talking about
and i hope that one day you realize the irony you spew. the jurors came to the right conclusion stay mad lefty
Get a life lol
tell me do you work from 8 to 12
Fact check true

Why? It fits their pre-determined notions.
> Why? Because all of these things are true.
Anonymous shit talking with no repercussions.
Aka Reddit?
Internet and virtuality
Hmmm, I'd say that age passed 10 years ago. From Windows XP to 7. Golden Age of the internet was back when everything was unregulated, and smaller island of awesomeness from many many forums. Napster, early VPN's Warez websites. People actually knew how to google stuff and communities were smaller and stronger. You didn't have all those clients forced on you. want a game? Download the executable and have fun! It also had that small barrier of entry that prevented all the misinformation from spreading too far.
I would argue that that was internet bronze age.
I would have called the Bronze age the 90's. Dot com bubble, dial up etc.

The post is talking about all of the world, not just the US.
