Got a lot more crowded, expensive and exhausted.
You see humans everywhere you go.
Stuff gets more expensive, but quality keeps declining both in products and in services for all that is quality of life related or crucial(housing, food, transportation…)
When I was born there were less than 5 bill humans on earth, now it’s over 8. I can feel it constantly and in everything.
The trajectory doesn’t seem so great to me.
There are some aspects that are better, but I don’t feel they compensate for the things we have lost.
I also feel that growing up today is a lot harder than it was when i was growing up.
I don’t know if it’s that unless you live in Nigeria, India, SEA etc.
In high income countries, the cities have grown in population and there’s fewer people in rural areas, so sure you’re going to see people in cities in urban areas and in touristy rural areas during common vacation times, but that’s been the case for ages and for the rest of the time there’s still plenty of easily accessible places where you can get away from people.
There’s also people capitalising on people wanting to be away from humans so they advertise “retreats” which are full of other humans, but just don’t go there and camp in the middle of nowhere instead and there won’t be humans for miles around
