Things might be shit in interesting and scary new ways, but there is no such thing as "the good ole days". Our mind wants to believe that things could go back to "how they used to be", "when it was better" but it's a fantasy.
It's an inability to face the cognitive dissonance and accept things as they are -- which is different than what we wanted! Boo hoo.
We all do this constantly everyday, some more than others :)
That said, humans are quite good at getting by even when things are shit. We've been doing it for untold eons.
Perhaps the only thing more impressive is how good we are at complaining about it all! Heh.
