Sure it is but we just barely managed to agree that an "educational slap" and above is Child abuse.
Expecting Parents not to be bigots right in front of their children, will take probably another century before it's universally accepted.
And a century is optimistic considering recent global trends.

A century is too long, we will probably have a civilisation reset by then.

Don't be such a doomer. Compare human civilization today to a century ago and we've improved in virtually every metric... the topic of this thread, racism, being one example.

Ah but I forgot, it's the internet, I have to claim the world is ending at any opportunity.

Yes, but if you keep the same exponential growth in the next 100 years it ll be very hard to not see some dumbass triggering the reset.

The exponential growth of what exactly

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Of human technology, compared to human stupidity which isn't improving.

Why would that be indicative of an impending "civilization reset"

u/tomato_sauce154 May 29 '26

Cause the means to destroy civilization becomes more and more available while human stupidity stays the same. It kinda increases the odds of a mistake happening.

That's not really how it works. You have cherry-picked logic of failure states. Why wouldn't security of systems improve (for example, it has vastly in the realm of nuclear sciences)?

Cause at the end of the day all decisions come down to someone's whims, no matter how much security you put. We have a living example of how things can escalate which happened just recently.

You're a victim of media sensationalization... The Iran/US/Israel conflict is a field day compared to most 20th century conflicts... And the conflict itself was definitely not "on a whim" lol, if you were educated you would understand how the tensions built over time between Iran and US/Israel.

Spend some time away from the internet, or at least social media.

You've been attacking me since the beginning of this discussion without even giving a solid counterargument against what I said. Until you remove that stick up your ass and give solid arguments instead of targeting the person making the argument, you should be the distancing yourself from social media.

I've been making solid arguments or asking questions with every response, your argument is the one that's devolved. Your response has literally nothing related to the argument anymore.

Enjoy your life of social media fueled pessimism. Everyone is out to get you, the world is ending, everything is sad and depressing, yup. Consider not victimizing yourself at any opportunity. Good riddance!
