For pretty much every single person you or I personally know, that would be the equivalent of the end of humanity.

Let’s not nitpick here. Worldwide human suffering and tragedy is equivalent to the end of humanity for most.

We can sit here and armchair while in the most prosperous, comfortable era of human history. But we also have to recognize that this era is a blip of time in history. That is a lot of data showing humanity surviving sure. But it’s also a very small amount of data showing any kind of life most would want to live in.
