I wonder if (assuming things get better) future generations would be like “I hate this boring and lifeless AI art that we have today, I wish I was born in the 2010s!” Or will the shit show that has been going for the last few years be so vivid that they would be happy not to have been born now.

Kinda like how it can be fun to imagine being born as a boomer and working casually while living luxuriously, but not so much to imagine being born in 1920s and going through WWII as a soldier

Or maybe they will also yearn to be boomers lol

      Nah anything after 1927 and you would’ve been too young to fight in WW2, you’d get the post war boom but you wouldn’t be drafted

        In Germany you would’ve been drafted and if surviving you’d have had to help rebuild a bombed-down occupied country. I certainly wouldn’t want to be born before the ~60s.

      I’d love to be born in the 30s, too young to understand the depression and the economic boom of the 50s and 60s right when I’m hitting my prime age
