It’s true that we’ve come a long way as a society (in many places), but just because we’re better off, doesn’t mean we’re in a good place.

I hope we can look back 100 years from today and reflect on how bad things were in these times.

Global society is a zero sum game until we get to a place of over abundance. With such limited (often artificially limited) resources, when the rich are winning, the poor in fact are losing.

I think the feeling that this imbalance is accelerating is real. The ever widening technology gap enables the wealthy to leverage powerful tools that simply aren’t available to much of the world population. It’s far easier to game the system than it has ever been.
