There was this legacy media and finance idiot on tv bumbling on about how we live in the best world possible and how people do not appreciate all that the system "does for us", and that people 50 years ago couldn't imagine that in 2024 we'd be living in this hi-tech world of wonder.

I guess its all about perspective, some things have improved for sure, but I wouldn't say it's all thanks to the system, but rather thanks to people who wanted better for themselves and gave up their time, skills and resources to produce things we all benefit from and improve society.

I'd say the world is better inspite of the system we have today for value exchange and distribution of resources

If we constrain the conversation to tech specifically, it's quite obvious that we're far behind not only where people thought we'd be by now not so long ago, but of the real potential of our current existing knowledge. I blame the State.
