We should wake up every day and feel colossal gratitude that we were born after the industrial revolution.https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/992902636998291456 …

Do you mean to say with these macro statistics and Pinker-style excuse mantra for the haves, that for instance the 42.6 million Americans over age 45 with chronic loneliness, should just shut up and be happy?https://wb.md/2FKXnuH

Not sure if your point was serious or cynical? Does waking up and feeling gratitude that you did not live in a pre industrial revolution era make people genuinely happier? Sorry, I don’t feel it.

My point was serious. I think gratitude to the ancestral past is important. There's a fair amount of research that 'gratitude exercises' make people happier. Don't know if that's true for historical gratitude.
