That was my reaction too. I've been around a while and none of this sounds like anything new. In fact, as a whole things have gotten better than they used to be.
I agree as well. I think it's common to start to see negatives as you grow older and more jaded. Some intuitive/anecdotal evidence is the generally blissful demeanor of children compared to adults.
The world is not actually getting worse on net. There are certainly some things that are difficult or frustrating more so now than in the past. However, overall society is generally more accepting than ever before, and human and technological development are also perpetually rising.
