You're typing this on a piece of technology that presumably you appreciate having access to, have you considered that there were likely many people in the generation before you who assumed something like HN was impossible and that all web tech or personal computing would be purely negative / dystopian? Turns out it's a mixed bag of good and bad. As is the world. There are beautiful things happening right now all over the world and there are horrible things. The happiest people seem to be either really excellent at accepting the horrible things or looking the other way, but in both cases they make sure their eyes are focused on the good as well and not just the bad.
