We have lots of room for improvement and I hope we improve living standards for people below what's common in Europe and North America, get population growth under control, and stop causing mass extinction.
However I think it's human nature that no matter how much better things get, we won't appreciate it unless we change our nature. Most of us are already living in a material utopia compared to our great-grandparents and it's always what's still wrong that occupies us. Which is a prerequisite for making things better, so I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, just that it won't make us happy. That would take medication or a paradigm shift.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
