Is it true that the present is superior to the past, and that things are more or less getting better with time?

ass

sure. if you're a bugman and all you care about is the amount of porn you have access to.

If you define what's better as what's new, then of course everything only gets better. But does that seem like a wise way to define better to you?

Technology wise yeah, but society as it is, is heading towards a dystopia.

it's ‘midwit’ now

yes, don't fall far the Evola meme about degeneracy of the modern world. Idealizing the past means not knowing that history was written by aristocrats and for aristocrats. Today it is true that working for 8 hours at a computer is "unfulfilling" and "not meaningful" but plowing fields every day of your life until you die in your 40s because you get the common cold while your daughter gets repeatedly raped by the local lord and you lost all your sons to plague, war and hard winters doens't sound that much nicer. Improving the material conditions of human beings is not all to make life beautiful, but who says it's not a relevant part has probably never starved one day.

As i am not special purely because i can read and write i can safety say that the present is worse than the past.

all midwits are bugmen, but not all bugmen are midwits.
