we are living in an interesting social experiment  obviously we all know here that society is fucked, but i was thinking earlier today about how the modern era might serve as an interesting mass social experiment to gain information in the future.  we learned what happens when you make reliable birth control and female education widely available(women become whores, then men become whores, then divorce rates skyrocket, and everything becomes fucked) we learned what happens when you functionally solve food scarcity(half the population becomes overweight)  we learned how truly effective panem et circenses can be as a concept, when cranked to the absolute maximum. we're living in fascinating times.  for me the main takeaway is that most people are actually incapable of self-control and moral behavior and need to be controlled by obvious, short-term negative incentives for degenerate behavior. what do you think or hope that future societies will learn from the modern era?
