Ultimately, we now live in the most peaceful and globally connected time in human history. But human beings, particularly westerners, NEED stimulation. So with really very little real problems around the world (relative to the constant warring, famine, etc, etc, that existed for most of human history) we have manifested what once were minor inconveniences in the "major" issues mostly to create conflict to avoid being bored.

I think this is a huge factor.

The old saying. Bad times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak mean, weak men create bad times.

I think we are in the period of good times create weak men. You think humans in a few hundred years will look back at our generation and think we were a bunch of pussys
