This is the first time I am getting myself involved in this kind of topic.

If you look from the point that everything is real, then this is the best possible moment to live, born at the perfect time. But from the standpoint of new theories and breakthroughs of possibly living in a matrix like simulation, then it's questionable.

Why?
The most important thing for mankind is to survive with as little use of resources as possible (whether material or mental),and to reproduce.
So, our brain will create everything that we need at the moment to survive. But nothing more. Evolution is very simplistic. Brain reduces in size due to a more friendly environment, and in some point, there will no need to have one once 3 conditions are fulfilled - food availability, life protection and reproduction. Anthropologically, brain reduces in size by 10% in last 20k years. For the main reason, you needed to be a lot more smarter then in order to survive compared to now.

So, maybe we are living in the best possible time on Earth, or maybe we are just thinking that we are living in the best time possible.

Now, I've had the time of my life. :D

Any way, if you are interesting, maybe you will love to see the Theory of Simulation (2017). Something that my husband point at me, and I watch it last night, so if you have little time of the best time of your life, you could take a look. It's a pure science, no 'conspiracy theory' and similar, but enough scientific material to put you into a full trip.
