Your lack of imagination is your defeat

[Excited Penguin]

You can't know if food tasted better in the past. I'm pretty sure about that.

The quality change in television is about technology, not so much about culture, so that's worded badly.

Evolution can mean both progress and what you mean by it. That's what's so wonderful about language, it doesn't need to be fixed and rigid, or our thinking wouldn't evolve.

Just because there are some side-effects to technological progress, doesn't mean that life was better in the past, when there was less of that going on. In fact, life was much more miserable in the past, people died of various diseases that aren't as much of or at all a threat today. They lived much less, on average, and most of them led awful lives, in a kind of Sysiphean struggle to get by.

As for all that jazz about consciousness, right on, buddy! That's great, but you shouldn't infer wrong things about external reality from your internal experience, however great and insightful it might appear to be.

Son.  

I wish you knew what you are talking about.  
In this very moment that your eyes are stuck into the monitor the radiations damage to a certain extend your eyes and your brain.
In the past a man could have a good sexual life until very old.
These days when you are over 40 you need viagra.
Son, I could go on and on with all the negative sides of the today so called modern life but I am sure you still couldn't get it.  

Until about--- thirty, that is. Well, I guess some people would call that old. What do I know?


^Oh, yeah, bold mine right there. Editing choice.
